Block parties at 2:30 a.m. rarely end well

Latest example: A little soiree at 396 Seaver St. in Dorchester early Sunday that ended with a gunman under arrest after he'd been shot but before he could exact his revenge, Boston Police report.

Police say the action started at 26 Glenarm St. in Dorchester, where officers found about 15 men "arguing and pushing each other getting ready to fight." Surprisingly, the tough guys fled when the cops arrived, but not before a little birdie told police they were all headed to an after-hours party at 396 Seaver St. So officers rode over there, where they found the party-giver and told him to call it a night "as it was late, the previous fight and the fact that the street was blocked due to partygoers being illegally parked."

While assisting with the crowd leaving the party, officers heard a gunshot come from the rear of the building and immediately ran to the rear where they observed several people standing in a rear stairwell. Officers after asking if any of the individuals were hurt then noticed that one individual, the suspect, attempted to walk away going up the stairs. Officers then noticed that the suspect was bleeding from his left hand, and that the spot where he had been standing had several drops of blood.

Police say they found Desric D. Baker, 34, of Dorchester in possession of a loaded semi-automatic firearm. They took him to the hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound to the thigh and cuts to the hand, and then when doctors said he was all better, they took him to the nearest police station for booking on charges of at 396 Seaver Street in Dorchester and charged him with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling.

Innocent, etc.
