A little concerning we haven’t heard from police if this was random or targeted...I live in the area, so this has us on edge a little bit. Walk by there everyday.

Very safe assumption that it was targeted. The police have indicated this. Reports indicate people heard arguing beforehand. Very little violence is totally random, though the double murder in JP a couple months ago seemed to be.

The latest word from BPD is that there was an argument at the house there prior to the shooting beginning. That's all that's been said so far.

It was an argument: http://www.bostonherald.com/news/local_coverage/2018/07/boston_police_co...

The deceased are Wilfred Peters, 26, of Brighton, and Jeffrey Montaque, 27, of Cambridge according to BPD this morning.
