Boston Police were called to a slew of violent incidents starting late on Sunday evening into Monday morning in the neighborhood of Dorchester. After 11:45 p.m. on Sunday, police were called to Massachusetts Avenue for a report of a person stabbed outside the Home Run Cafe. Police found a victim suffering from multiple stab wounds. The victim was transported to a Boston hospital for treatment and no arrests have been made at this time. Police are also investigating four different reports of people who were shot overnight, which may be related. Around 1 a.m. Monday morning, Boston EMS treated an adult man with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound at Ellington Street. Just before 3 a.m., officers found an adult man with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound at Kingsdale Street in Dorchester. Two minutes later, officers on patrol in Dorchester tried to stop two people believed to be linked to a shot spotter investigation. Police say the suspects failed to stop their dirt bike and ended up crashing the vehicle and engaging in a foot chase. Officers found one of the men hiding under a parked car with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Before 3 a.m., officers found another individual suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound on Talbot Avenue in Dorchester. All of these incidents remain under investigation and no arrests have been made. Monday morning, just after 10 a.m., police were called to a report of a stabbing at Dacia Street. Police found an adult man suffering from a stab wound and arrested 42-year-old Jacques Lassy, who was located in a nearby vehicle. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has often called Boston the safest major city in the country. WBZ-TV asked her about that remark, given the violence. "When I say that we're the safest major city in the country, it is never to say that our work is done," Wu said, "We will not be satisfied in Boston until we have ended violence, period."

Hyde Park shooting leaves 2 people wounded, one detained by Boston Police
Boston Police shut down a street in Hyde Park late Wednesday morning after two people were shot. One of them was critically wounded. Another person has been detained by police. Officers were called to Farraday Street just after 10 a.m. for a report of a person shot. But when they arrived, they found two people with "multiple gunshot wounds," according to a police spokesperson. "At least one victim sustained injuries believed to be life-threatening. Officers rendered aid to both victims on scene until the arrival of Boston EMS. The victims were then transported to local hospitals for further treatment," police said in a statement. "Due to the severity of the injuries, Boston Police Homicide Detectives responded and are leading the investigation. At this time, a person believed to be involved in the incident has been detained. The investigation remains active and ongoing." Investigators have not released any information about the victims. Police at the scene were very focused on a car that was parked in the street with its front end nearly on the sidewalk. Officers left more than a dozen evidence markers in and around the car. It's not clear yet if the shooting happened inside or outside the vehicle. A woman later told WBZ-TV the car belongs to her cousin and she has not been able to reach her. Neighbors told WBZ they didn't see or hear anything unusual this morning. No other information is available at this point in the investigation.

Record-setting heat not stopping everyone in Boston
Temperatures have been brutal the last few days in Boston. Tuesday's record-setting triple-digit "air you can wear" did not stop everyone from getting out in some of the hottest recorded temperatures in the city's history. Braving the heat in Boston Some people, like David Freeman, got a workout by riding their bikes along the Esplanade. Freeman was riding from his place in Cambridge over to a beach in Boston. "I am just going for a joy ride, that's about it. It's really, really hot, but everyone thinks I'm foolish. A friend of mine said, 'You are foolish. AC. Go to the gym. AC,'" Freeman said. "Today is my gym day off, so here I am." Freeman was by no means the only one we found getting some exercise at the height of the heat. Runners and walkers were spotted pushing through the heat. Playgrounds in the city appeared largely empty, but splash pads were a popular place to get some relief. Some Boston city pools are not open yet. A full list of splash pads and open pools can be found on the city's website. Ice cream trucks were a popular commodity on Tuesday. Alex Martin operates a truck that drives all over the state. Martin said business had been booming the last few days. "This is my first summer doing this," Martin said. "It's a fun summer job. I don't know, it just started to get really hot. We will see how I hold up in the heat. Yesterday was really busy. It was packed all day. Really long lines." Boston EMS on heat Boston EMS reported calls were up 10% on Monday. The department reported 17 heat-related calls citywide, with an additional 24 incidents from a concert at Fenway Park. Boston EMS encourages people to avoid outdoor activity and exercise in this kind of extreme heat. They also advised people who must be outside to seek shade and drink water, even when you are not thirsty.
