Clerk gunned down in Jamaica Plain convenience store
By Brett on Sat, 12/26/2009 - 3:54pm
A man shot in the Tedeschi store, 779 Centre St., this afternoon died not long after being taken to Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Police say they are seeking a white four-door sedan, possibly a Chrysler or Dodge, that was last seen traveling on Centre Street toward the Jamaicaway. Channel 25 reports the victim was a clerk in the store.
Earlier:
The intersection of South and Centre streets is mobbed with police, including a large "crime scene investigation" truck. The area of benches in front of the Tedeschi convenience store, 779 Centre St., which is a popular area for the homeless, is taped off with crime scene tape.
They're also reporting a "department motor vehicle accident" at the intersection of Amory and Centre - an intersection that doesn't exist, though both streets are in Jamaica Plain. It seems plausible that a unit responding to the first was the cause.

um ya, no...if I had a
um ya, no...if I had a five-spot for all your misinformation blurbs, I could buy a steak
it's not my fault Adam keeps messing with the story
He's edited it at least twice so far, this time removing the link to the Twitter post from BPD:

"PERSON SHOT: 779 Centre St in JP, Homicide Unit requested to scene"
Also: http://wbztv.com/local/jamaica.plain.shooting.2.13...
"The victim was shot at a Tedeschi's on Centre Street just after 4 p.m. Saturday and taken to a local hospital. There's no word yet on the victim's name or condition. "
So exactly what about that is a "misinformation blurb"?
Sorry
I didn't mean to take out the BPD Twitter link. I did mean to take out the Chinese restaurant reference, because it didn't happen there.
Nevermind the five-spot
You can get an account for free; that way, we'll know which lame personal attacks are coming from which person, and we can think critically about them instead of just ignoring them outright.
I may disagree with Brett at times, as I disagree with many of the folks here at times, but Brett at least has an account so I can tie the comments to previous ones, etc.
Are you sure that the person
Are you sure that the person who was shot was "hot"? Or have you got a great typo in your caption?
I'm just on a roll today
Fixed.
google it and maybe you'll get your "facts" close, if not right
Centre St. and Amory St. used to intersect by Jackson Square, until the 1970's when Centre was shifted to accommodate a reconfigured Orange Line. Now Amory St. dead ends a few hundred feet short of Centre St.
Why would it be, as you say, "plausible that a unit responding to the first was the cause" [of the second], I wonder? Centre/South and Centre/Amory are almost two miles apart.
if they don't meet by a couple hundred feet...
...it's not an intersection!
Also, it's pretty plausible that when someone in a district is shot, available units in the district race to the scene. And since they might be in a rush, that makes them a little more likely to get into a crash.
Learn to parse English, by the way. "Plausible" is a guarded adjective that was appropriate.
"Learn to take constructive criticism"
just admit that you're kind of a lousy writer , and you screwed up royally with that sarcastic little response.
