OF THE VICTIMS, JESSICA AT ANTOINETTE. THE MOTHER IS CONVINCED THAT HER CHILDREN AND OTHER GUESTS AT A GATHERING LAST NIGHT WERE NOT THE INTENDED TARGETS. SHE SAYS HER 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL, SO THAT’S THE GOOD NEWS. HOWEVER, AT LEAST ONE OF THE OTHER VICTIMS IS STILL IN THE HOSPITAL AT THIS HOUR. IT WAS MY SONS, MY TRIPLETS 21ST BIRTHDAY. WE DECIDED TO GIVE THEM A LITTLE PARTY IN THE BACK, A GATHERING, NOT EVEN A PARTY. AND, UM, THE NEXT THING WE KNOW, IT SOUNDED LIKE FIRECRACKERS AND IT WAS A GUNSHOTS. AND TWO OF MY CHILDREN WAS HIT MULTIPLE EVIDENCE MARKERS ON THE GROUND OUTSIDE OF TEN GREENWOOD STREET IN DORCHESTER LAST NIGHT. INDICATE ALL THE SCATTERED SHELL CASINGS AFTER MULTIPLE SHOTS WERE FIRED AND FIVE YOUNG PEOPLE WERE HIT. ALL THE INJURIES ARE NON-LIFE THREATENING. THIS WOMAN SAYS HER 21 YEAR OLD SON AND 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER ARE RECOVERING FROM GUNSHOT WOUNDS. SO I WAS GOING BACK OUT THE DOOR, BUT AS I WAS GOING BACK OUT THE DOOR, MY 11 YEAR OLD WAS COMING THROUGH THE DOOR AND SHE WAS HOLDING HER LEG AND SHE WAS HIT. SO AND THEN ONE OF THE FRIENDS WAS COMING BEHIND HER AND HE ALSO WAS HIT. THE INVESTIGATION IS CONTINUING INTO WHO FIRED THE SHOTS AND WHY. WE KNOW THAT THERE’S AT LEAST ONE SHOOTER AND THERE’S MULTIPLE ROUNDS. WHOEVER DID THIS AND WHOEVER YOU’RE LOOKING FOR, YOU GOT THE WRONG PERSON. AND TRUST ME, YOU’RE GOING TO BE DEALT WITH. THAT’S WHAT I AM GOING TO TELL YOU. YOU WILL BE CAUGHT AND YOU WILL BE DEALT WITH. THE SCENE IS CLEAR, BUT AT LEAST TWO SUVS ON THE STREET ARE RIDDLED WITH BULLET HOLES FROM LAST NIGHT’S SHOOTING. AS OF NOW, NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED. REPORTING LIVE IN DO
