Police: Boston SWAT at the scene of active shooter at building fire in Mattapan
Boston police responded to a report of gunshots in Mattapan Saturday shortly after firefighters were called to the scene to extinguish a fire, authorities said.
Members of the city’s SWAT team were brought in after a suspect opened fire on first responders, who were called to 50 Fairlawn Ave at about 11:35 a.m., according to police.
City data shows there have been 107 shooting incidents in Boston in 2023 with 141 victims through Dec. 24. That is down from the 145 fatal and non-fatal incidents in 2022, according to Boston police data.
The address where the shooting occurred Saturday is just off Cummins Highway.
