Boston police cite ‘troubling’ uptick of juveniles carrying guns, recover 15 firearms in last week
Boston police’s Youth Violence Strike Force sees disturbing trend ahead of summer months.
The Boston Police Department is warning of a “troubling” uptick of juveniles carrying illegal firearms after officers recovered 15 guns from the streets over the past week alone.
The disturbing trend was emphasized by one incident in which police said a 13-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy each brought loaded 9 mm Glock handguns into Charlestown High School on Thursday
“We’re seeing a troubling theme of a lot of juveniles carrying firearms,” Boston Police Sgt. Detective John Boyle told the Boston Herald on Sunday. “As we enter the summer months, we’re definitely seeing an increase in juveniles carrying firearms.”
