BOSTON — New surveillance video shows a gunman open fire in broad daylight Tuesday in the middle of a busy intersection by Gallivan Boulevard and Dorchester Ave.
In the video, the suspect, dressed in a gray hoodie, walks out ignoring oncoming traffic racing by. He stops a van and then shoots at a car stopped at the light.
After firing a few shots, the suspect runs away.
The driver of the car that was targeted drove off and you can see a Boston fire truck right behind that car, just missing those flying bullets.
Luckily no one was hurt, but this suspect is still on the run.
“It happened middle of the day, a lot of people are out here in general, so we’re asking for the public to help us with this,” said Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox on Monday at a different shooting.
