Multiple Shootings in Dorchester During Caribbean Festival Leave Several Injured

Eight people were injured in a shooting in Dorchester, Boston, with six adult males and two adult females being shot. Five of the men and one of the women were taken to nearby hospitals, while two victims with graze wounds declined treatment. Four arrests were made, and firearms were recovered at the scene. Two suspects were found with loaded pistols, and another suspect was apprehended later. The shooting is not related to the nearby Caribbean Carnival Festival, and the mayor and city council president called for a gun violence strategy. The festival proceeded as scheduled, and the investigation is ongoing.
