Two shot in Roxbury near Jamaica Plain Line
Boston police are investigating a double shooting in Roxbury this afternoon.
Police said two men in their 20s were shot at about 4:15 p.m. in the 2900 block of Washington Street, an area near the Jamaica Plain line and Egleston Square.
The two men were found about a block apart. One man was shot in the arm; the other was shot in the back. Both were transported to Boston Medical Center and were expected to survive, said David Estrada, a police spokesman.
Authorities blocked off a section of Washington Street as they investigated, and they cordoned off a yellow three-story house with police tape.

Yeah, no kidding. It's Roxbury. Of course people are getting shot. Why even have this as a headline? I mean, start writing about it when people aren't getting gunned down over there. A headline like this is like a headline reading "Being drunk is kind of awesome," or "Ninjas are cool." Of course. That's not news. Neither is a fire-fight in the Rox. Orange Line at your own risk.
