Man shot twice in Roslindale; might have been shot more but one of his attackers' guns jammed

A man walking down a dead-end street off Canterbury Street early Saturday was shot in the left shoulder and thigh, according to a police report.
The victim and his girlfriend told police they were on Pindedale Road, across from Sacred Heart School, around 1 a.m. on Saturday, when two men with guns approached and pulled their triggers. One of the guns, however, jammed, the report says.
The two men then ran onto Canterbury, where a car picked them up, witnesses told police.
The victim was taken to Beth Israel Hospital with injuries not considered life threatening.
The shooting is a few blocks away from the scene of a still unsolved 2010 murder on Rowe Street. Last May, residents of nearby Seymour Street reported early morning gunfire.

drug dealing
there's a lot of dealing going on in that neighborhood around canterbury and just west of blakemore between prospect and florence. it's usually a couple of guys in a car and the buyers often either walk from cummins or show up in another car. I don't think they're from the neighborhood, but I've called the police twice - they never showed and I finally had to scare them off in front of my house by turning on all the lights and beeping my car alarm. there are lot of little kids in the neighborhood - this isn't something that should be going on.
also - when are they going to stop the drag racing down hyde park ave? it's getting to be every night now.
