Boston, like many other once-great American cities, has experienced increased levels of crime and danger, including a horrific shootout over the weekend at a children’s event.
According to the Washington Examiner, gunshots rang out at the city’s annual Jouvert Parade, a Caribbean holiday event, marking yet another instance of violence to break out at the yearly gathering.
Local police reported seven people had been shot Saturday morning during the celebration.
Police were unsure of a motive behind the shootings and only said that an investigation is ongoing.
