HYDE PARK, Boston.- A 17-year-old male from Brockton was arrested in Hyde Park on Monday afternoon following reports of gunfire and the seizure of a loaded firearm near Hyde Park Avenue and Milton Street.
At approximately 3:40 p.m. on June 8, 2026, officers responded to multiple 911 calls reporting three gunshots in the area. Callers also reported seeing several juveniles running from the scene, including a male wearing a black hoodie.
Boston Police officers located a juvenile male who had run behind an auto body shop. Officers moved behind the building and observed him crouched in a wooded area among bushes and vegetation. He was seen rummaging through the brush before officers issued verbal commands and detained him.
Officers then observed a firearm in the brush approximately three feet from where the juvenile was detained. The weapon was partially concealed under leaves and vines.
District detectives and officers secured the firearm, identified as a loaded Rock Island Armory .45-caliber handgun.
The 17-year-old was taken into custody and is expected to be arraigned in Boston Juvenile Court on charges including carrying a loaded firearm without a license, possession of a firearm, and possession of ammunition without an FID card.
No injuries were reported.
