Gunfire erupted late Saturday night at a residential property on South Broadway, sending neighbors into a frenzy as police scrambled to secure the scene.
Officers arrived at 1585 S Broadway St at 11:32 p.m. on September 13 following a report of an aggravated assault involving a shooting. The response team located one victim at the scene, though authorities have not released the individual's condition or identity.
This incident underscores the ongoing struggle with violent crime in the area. Recent data indicates that assault is a major driver of the projected $5.3 million cost of crime for the region in 2025. While crime rates have shown signs of slowing, the city continues to rank 45th among Massachusetts municipalities with the highest crime rates, according to CrimeGrade.org.
Residents with information regarding the shooting are urged to contact authorities immediately. For non-emergency incidents, residents should report to the Denver Police Department. In the event of an emergency, dial 911.
