Hey everyone,

I am here to discuss something serious and heartbreaking in our community last Sunday night.

We all must know what is happening in our neighborhood and come together to support each other during tough times like this.

The Shocking News

At around 8:30 in the evening, just as many families might have been settling down for dinner or a quiet night in, gunfire broke the peace in the Franklin Field housing complex at 50 Ames Street in Dorchester.

Can you imagine the fear and panic that would have ensued?

It breaks my heart to share that this tragic incident injured five people, including two kids under 18.

As we speak, one of these young ones is fighting for their life in the hospital.

A Mother’s Anguish

Our mayor, Michelle Wu, is not just our leader but also a mom, and like all parents in our community, she is feeling deep sadness and anger over what happened.

She shared her feelings in a late-night press conference on Sunday, saying, “I am angry; I am upset as a Mom.”

She also told everyone that she was praying hard for those in the hospital to recover soon.

Moments like these remind us that our leaders are humans, too, with families and hearts that ache just like ours.

We Can Help

Now, friends, this is where we can step in.

The police try their hardest to discover what happened but cannot do it alone.

District Attorney Kevin Hayden has asked for our help. Please come forward if you see something or know anything about what happened.

It might feel small, but your information could be the clue that solves this.

Kevin Hayden put it perfectly: “We need the help of our community here.” It is about looking out for each other.

Let’s Come Together

I know it is a lot to take in.

It is scary and sad, and it might make us feel helpless.

However, we are not helpless, not when we have each other.

Let us keep our eyes and ears open, let us come together to help the police find answers, and let us send all our thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families.

Remember, in tough times like these, we need to stand united, lean on each other, and foster a sense of community more than ever.

Final Thoughts

Let us hold onto hope as we try to understand this tragedy.

I hope that the injured recover fast, that the person or people responsible are found, and that our beautiful Dorchester community finds peace and healing through unity and love.

Stay safe, everyone. Let us look out for one another and keep the spirit of Dorchester strong and loving.

Building a community where everyone feels safe and cherished is in our hands.

We are sending you all love and strength during this difficult time.
