Three Men Shot in Boston's Theater District

Police are seeking tips from the public to aid an ongoing probe into the downtown shooting.

Overview

  • The shooting, which happened Monday night just before 11 p.m., left three adult men hospitalized with injuries that police say are not life-threatening.
  • Officers responded to the area of Tremont and Stuart streets near the Emerson Cutler Majestic Theatre and transported the victims to local hospitals where they are expected to recover.
  • A witness told reporters the confrontation may have followed a stolen moped and a short chase that began outside a nearby McDonald’s, but Boston police have not verified that account.
  • No arrests have been announced and investigators are asking anyone with information or video to contact Boston police detectives at 617-343-4571 or the CrimeStoppers tip line.
  • Local outlets note the incident follows other recent shootings in the region this month, a pattern that has heightened public safety concerns and could prompt increased police resources in high-foot-traffic areas like the Theater District.
