A car chase involving four kids from Charlestown ended with a crash on Leonard Street around 10:40 p.m. - after shots were fired on Gilman Street around 9 p.m. Three of the people in the car were arrested, but one fled, sparking a manhunt that brought in State Police and the State Police helicopter and prompted the city to issue this request:
Police pursuit of possibly armed suspect in W. Somerville Tufts/Powderhouse area is under way. If in the area, please stay inside.
Around 11:20 p.m., the city reported the last of the suspects is now in custody.

No, not yet
Somerville Patch has more details from Somerville PD, but nothing about the Charlestown angle.
Charlestown
This is unconfirmed. I heard over radio chatter when they were describing the last 2 suspects before they were apprehended. They gave out names and addresses of the suspects.
FYI, I am not the Somerville PD. This just happened in my neighborhood and I turned on the scanner which is available online, so take what I wrote as unofficial.
