Gunfire on Northampton Street
By adamg on Wed, 09/26/2012 - 7:56pm
Police are looking for a skinny Somali guy for firing up to seven shots on Northampton Street near Washington Street shortly after 7:30. Witnesses spotted him fleeing on a bike; which he apparently abandoned on East Lenox Street. A gun dog found a gun in front of the Church of St. Augustine and St. Martin.

BPD has a "gun dog"?
don't

Name?
Unless Adam left something really important out, the police don't know the name of the person they are looking for.
Ignore the 'name'
part,Ron; my mistake.
Again, EVERY Somalis I've ever encountered has a very similar and particular look to them, which I described. I would add that most are also thin/skinny.
Well, since you asked, (and
Well, since you asked, (and these things tend to get confusing with multiple agencies), but Boston PD seemed to think the Housing PD officers there knew exactly who the suspect was.
