## Resource

Boston’s Fourth of July weekend kicked off with chaos as five shootings erupted early Sunday, leaving two dead and thirteen wounded. Police blame massive neighborhood parties, illegal fireworks, and public drinking for the violence. One shooting on Blue Hill Avenue killed one and injured three; another on George Street claimed a life and left two others hurt, one critically. The police commissioner warned that mixing fireworks, alcohol, and firearms is a deadly recipe, urging residents to rethink late-night gatherings. Mayor Michelle Wu called it a “long and difficult night,” stressing that firearms at public events are never safe. Officers were also injured by fireworks, and the police union condemned the danger faced by first responders, with three officers hospitalized after a street party turned violent.
