BOSTON — A teenage boy has been arrested in connection with a shooting in Boston on Wednesday night that left a girl hospitalized, authorities announced Thursday morning.
Officers responding to a report of a person shot at a home in the area of Milton Avenue in the city’s Dorchester neighborhood just after 8 a.m. found a juvenile female victim suffering from gunshot wounds, according to the Boston Police Department.
The victim was rushed to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
