The teenage girl who was shot on Milton Street was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
A 14-year-old boy faces firearms charges, including possession of a large-capacity feeding device, after a teenage girl was shot in Dorchester Wednesday night, police said.
Boston police said in a statement Thursday that police responded to reports of a person being shot in the area of Milton Avenue around 8 p.m. Officers “immediately rendered aid” to the teenage girl with gunshot wounds until emergency services arrived. She was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Officers, who found several juveniles at the residence, were directed to the basement, where two boys were located near the back door of the residence. One of the boys was carrying a backpack that allegedly contained a loaded firearm.
Boston police said the 14-year-old was arrested. His name was not mentioned because he happened.
The teen is expected to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court on misdemeanor charges of carrying a loaded firearm without a license, carrying a loaded firearm without a license, and possession of a large-capacity feeding device.
