Man grazed, car struck by hail of bullets in Roxbury
By adamg on Wed, 12/04/2013 - 9:00pm
Around 8:30 p.m., somebody unleashed a barrage of gunfire on Munroe Street, near Walnut.
Police found one victim with a graze wound to his leg, a car hit by a bullet and numerous shell casings littering the street. A possible suspect was apprehended after a short foot chase down Elmore and Mayfair streets.
UPDATE: Boston Police report three undercover officers headed toward the shooting site got into a car crash at Ashmont Street and Dorchester Avenue, sending them and the two people in the other car to the hospital. The department says the undercover car was hit by the other vehicle.

A $200,000/ yr
Cop is on it, right after his/ her dead end detail is over.
3 cops injured at Dorchester Ave & Ashmont St responding
Your snide comments aside, three cops racing toward the gunfire were injured at Dorchester Avenue & Ashmont Street when their cruiser was hit while they responded to the call. $200,000? Only for the politically connected, Menino appointed brass, like Lowell's Ed Davis who now laments the raise for actual Boston patrolmen, haha!.
Lowell's Ed Davis?
Does having management experience outside of Boston automatically disqualify someone from heading up the BPD?
"Toward" the gunfire, Yes
But it was a zig zag 3.5 miles away. A life-time in terms of catching someone in the city. Everyone who lives and works in Dorchester, I presume, knows that is a bad intersection despite the new "Peabody Square" re-design. Add in the aggressive way people drive in this city, both the cops and civilians, it is no wonder there was an accident.
And in a quick random scan of the BPD police officer payroll of 2012 the salaries that showed up were: $141, $123, $131, $110, $168, $176, $116, $96 & $94. With most base salaries were a good $20,000 below their final pay. That extra $20,000 had to come from somewhere.
Both sides have valid points.
That man must have had nerves
That man must have had nerves of steel to be able to just stand there eating grass while that car was being shot.
interesting timing...
Interesting that they were responding to a shooting on Munroe Street in Roxbury. Last night's "Boston's Finest" was all about the cops responding to shootings in that exact neighborhood cuz of a beef between Munroe Street and another gang over the summer.
Y'all sure argue on these
Y'all sure argue on these comments a lot. Starting to look like the BostonHerald.com up in this bitch...
Man arraigned
The Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports on the arraignment of Hasan Sharif Davis, 22, in Roxbury District Court today: Bail set at $30,000 on charges of armed assault with intent to murder, unlawful possession of a firearm as a second offense, carrying a loaded firearm as a second offense, unlawful possession of ammunition, trespassing and receiving stolen property. However, he's not going anywhere: The judge in his case revoked his bail on an earlier A&B charge
Davis spent 18 months in jail following a 2009 conviction for carrying a loaded firearm and unlawful possession of a firearm, the DA's office says, adding this account:
Pierce told the court that members of the Boston Police Department were on a routine patrol in the area of Walnut and Townsend streets at approximately 8:30 p.m. yesterday when they heard multiple gunshots. The officers then spotted a man, later identified as Davis, running from Munroe Street.
Innocent, etc.
Undercover car
In other words - no lights or sirens, right?
Wrong
At least according to BPD, which says:
