Authorities are investigating a troubling spike in gun violence in Middlesex County, marked by three shootings within a 12-hour period across Cambridge, Somerville, and Belmont. Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan emphasized the need for accountability, particularly after over 50 shots were fired in close proximity to populated areas. The incidents reportedly involved individuals with no prior connection and resulted in various charges against several juveniles. The investigation is ongoing, with each location showing distinct circumstances of violence prompting concern for community safety.
The fact that over 50 shots were fired in very densely populated areas, some in the middle of the afternoon, is the type of brazen, dangerous conduct for which those responsible must be held accountable.
