A 14-year boy was killed and a second juvenile was injured in a midday shooting in Boston that Mayor Michelle Wu called "unacceptable." Officers responding to reports of gunfire in the city's Roxbury neighborhood just after noon on Monday found a male juvenile suffering from gunshot wounds.
He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to a statement from police. A second male juvenile was found in the area with a gunshot wound and taken to the hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening, police said.That victim's age was not disclosed.
