Boston Police report arresting a 15-year-old from Hyde Park on charges he shot an 18-year-old early Monday morning on Haydn Street.

The teenager, too young to be identified, was arrested this afternoon and charged with assault with intent to murder and assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon. Police say information from both the victim - who was taken to Brigham and Women's in critical condition - and nearby residents helped lead them to the alleged gunner.

Some of those neighbors say they have had enough of gun violence along Washington Street and are now planning to move.
