SWAT team, detectives burst into Hyde Park home early this morning to arrest Roxbury shooting suspect
By adamg on Wed, 11/11/2015 - 12:54pm
Boston Police report detectives with a warrant and a SWAT team arrested Malachi Scott, 19, at 58 Gordon Ave. around 4:45 a.m. on charges he opened fire on a crowd outside the Whittier Street project on Oct. 28, hitting one man.
Police say they also confiscated the loaded .22 caliber Ruger handgun they believe he used. They add the apartment "was breached" and Scott arrested without incident.
The victim, in what may have started as an argument at the Ruggles T stop, suffered a non-life-threatening injury, police say.
Scott faces arraignment Thursday in Roxbury Municipal Court on charges of assault with intent to murder, assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm, police say.
Innocent, etc.

Nice map of Lung Island.
Nice map of Lung Island. Garden City, to be exact.
You're quick
Already fixed. I managed to mispell "Gordon" in the mapping box initially.
Now, about "mispell"
:->
Was it just me who was
Was it just me who was expecting a line in the report that said they raided the wrong house and someone innocent ended up wounded or worse. Great job, but I'd still feel safer without a SWAT team lurking around.
SWAT teams exist
for very good reasons. I don't think you feeling better if they didn't exist come into play, unless you would like to lead one of those 4:45AM raids.
Why not save that for actual failures
This sounds like a legitimate use of SWAT, and a success.
There's opportunity to complain when SWAT is used inappropriately, or an operation is a failure.
Lurking? Lol!
Lurking? Lol!
I don't get why you hate SWAT
I don't get why you hate SWAT and law enforcement but whatever dude.
sooo....
Article about suspect who shot into an open crowd, and you come in and comment about how you distrust police and how dangerous they are.
Did you fail to read that part about how he fired into a crowd, shot a man, and how the police found a gun in his place? or do you just have to ignore the fact that crime exists in order to justify your distrust of police?
