Boston Police have released surveillance photos of several men and a car wanted in connection with a barrage of gunfire on Polk Street in Charlestown just as Charlestown High School seniors, families and friends were getting ready for graduation ceremonies nearby yesterday afternoon.

Nobody was hit, but two cars and a Polk Street apartment were hit by bullets, police say.

If any of the men, or the car they may have used to get away look familiar, contact detectives at 617-343-4571 or the anonymous tip line by calling 800-494-TIPS or by texting TIP to CRIME (27463).

I really hope

They catch these “people.”

Only subhuman pieces of garbage would do such a thing.

I believe gun crimes are up on school grounds under Mayor Wu’s watch.

Maybe that last sentence will actually draw some comments on what is one of the most important issues in many neighborhoods in America.

First, They are African

First, They are African Americans so let's clear that up. Secondly, guns are peddled into urban communities by the same people who talk just like you. The other people like yourself committ racist heinous crimes against innocent people. MY people commit crimes because we're all trying to fight our way out of the fishbowl mentality that this country has placed upon us. What do you know about that what do you understand about that. Cowards have alot to say behind a keyboard.

I'm proudly one of those people who prays for her people everyday.

Baloney.

Mayor Wu has nothing to do with the uptick in gun violence. Period. That is a ridiculous claim.

Why invest your money

When you can buy firearms and pay Nike to advertise for them?

What an utter, utter failure contemporary American society is. These schmucks were just done right from the very start.

Whoa! That's horrible!

Here's hoping nobody was injured or killed, and that that guys who did the shooting are caught, arrested, tried for and charged with endangering people with firearms, and are sent to jail for a long time.
