A bloody 24 hours in Boston

Monday night's shooting is the third reported in Boston in just over a day.
Late Sunday night, three people were shot on the 400 block of Quincy Street in Dorchester — one critically — as a Cape Verde World Cup celebration locked down nearby Bowdoin Street and forced Boston Police onto a citywide tactical alert.
Earlier Sunday evening, a man was shot multiple times near the Hyde Park Avenue / Readville commuter rail station area in Hyde Park. The suspected shooter walked into the Hyde Park Avenue Boston Police station shortly afterward and surrendered, according to police scanner reports.
This is a developing story.
