Once again, a young person was seriously injured by a stray bullet fired in a fight that she had no part in. In Boston, Massachusetts a 10-year old girl is in critical condition after being struck by a bullet that passed through her apartment wall. The shot was fired during a fight that occurred in a gathering next door.
The police commissioner said, “[y]ou’ve heard the mayor say a million times: no gatherings [due to coronavirus restrictions.]” He added, “[t]his is what we need to do to get through the pandemic. But unfortunately it took place, and now we have a 10-year-old in critical condition.”
