Two teens charged with shooting five at Dorchester birthday party last month

Boston Police report arresting two 17-year-olds they say shot five people on Greenwood Street in Dorchester last month, including an 11-year-old.

Police say they arrested one of the two on Castlegate Road on Saturday and the other yesterday afternoon at an apartment complex on Olde Derby Road in Norwood - where detectives found "recovered a firearm with a Glock 43X upper and a Polymer 80 lower, with two fully loaded magazines."

Both, too young to have their names released, were charged as delinquent on four counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, illegal possession of a firearm, illegal possession of ammunition and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling, police say, adding the Norwood teen will face additional charges related to the gun and magazines.

When police arrived at 10 Greenwood St. around 9:50 p.m. on July 10, they found two injured people in an apartment and three on the street outside. Police also found a car that had been shot up - but none of the bullets hit the mother behind the wheel or her baby in a car seat in the back.

Innocent, etc.
