17-year-old boy arrested in connection with Revere Beach shooting facing shooting charges

A 17-year-old boy already in custody in connection with a shooting at Revere Beach on Memorial Day Weekend is facing additional shooting charges.

Detectives added two counts of assault and battery by means of discharging a firearm against the teen. The suspect had already been charged with firearm offenses and had been held in Chelsea District Court since a dangerousness hearing Monday.

Police say the teen fired a handgun during a fight near one of the bathhouses on Revere Beach Boulevard, striking a 51-year-old female bystander and grazing another 17-year-old boy.
