Boston Police report a teen, 19, was shot at 164 Howard Ave. in Roxbury around 11:50 p.m. yesterday.

An off-duty officer quickly reported a suspicious vehicle and police, responding to 392 Columbia Rd., found a car with a broken rear window, blood everywhere, leading up to an apartment there. Then, another car drove up and a bleeding man got out; he was taken to the hospital. Police say this guy, Duante H. Beal, 20, of Dorchester, was the shooter and he now faces a variety of charges, including armed assault with intent to murder.

Meanwhile, police report that when a clerk at Lambert's, 777 Morrissey Blvd. tried to stop a woman and a gaggle of kids from walking out with salads they hadn't paid for this past Friday, one kid stopped, the rest kept walking and the woman threw the salad container at the clerk and, for good measure, threw a punch.

Police, again aided by an off-duty officer, say they quickly caught up with Christal C. Campbell, 39, of Dorchester, and charged her with charged with assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon (the salad?) and assault and battery. And they discovered she was already wanted on 26 other charges, including escape from jail.
