Gunfire on quiet Roslindale street: One man injured, residents alarmed

UPDATE: 15-year-old from Hyde Park arrested for the shooting.

A Haydn Street resident forwards the news that a man was shot between 11 p.m. and midnight on March 1 by at least one of five bullets fired at him and an acquaintance.

The neighborhood had been quiet since last March, when some Washington-Beech residents who had been linked to a spate of shootings, including one murder, moved out before the Boston Housing Authority could evict them.

Now residents of the side street off Washington are rattled again:

This is a quiet little street with many young families with young children, and an incident like this is shocking and disturbing to many of us here. ... We've lived in Roslindale since 2003 and have loved it, but the prevalence of violent crime here, especially in the past couple of years, has convinced us that we don't want to raise our son in Roslindale. The day after the shooting we decided we were putting our place on the market and heading for the hills.
