The Boston Teachers Union has identified Khelmon Bethel as the educator who was shot in the parking lot of TechBoston Academy on Tuesday evening.
Bethel, 31, and the 17-year-old student are both in stable condition and are expected to make a full recovery.
Both were in the parking lot of TechBoston Academy preparing for a school event, according to Boston police.
TechBoston Academy played a boys basketball game against Watertown Tuesday night though authorities would not confirm whether or not that was the event they had referenced.
“Obviously this is a very concerning and disturbing set of circumstances, schools are supposed to be a safe haven for our students and our teachers, not a place where they’re subjected to brazen and random acts of violence,” said Superintendent-in-Chief Gregory Long, with the Boston Police Department.
