Boston Police report that a man who got into an argument with a woman outside the liquor store at 1633 Blue Hill Avenue around 10:11 p.m. yesterday ended up getting shot in the stomach by another man - who then fled with the woman:

Officers, on scene, spoke to witnesses who reported that they observed the victim arguing with an unidentified woman outside the store shortly before the incident. Witnesses further reported that the argument seemed to be escalating at which point he went outside and attempted to separate the arguing parties. One witness further reported to officers that another man who was standing outside at that time pushed him to the side, pulled out a gun, and shot the victim.

However, police say they caught up with Arturo V. Wallen, 61, early this morning and charged him with assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon. Police say the victim was taken to Boston Medical Center in critical condition.
