No arrests have been made, and neighbors, many of whom reported hearing three or four gunshots, are worried. One woman told WBZ-TV she kept her 6-year-old home from school Thursday because of the shooting.

"I'm worried because my kids sometimes play right here, my grandson," said a woman who lives on the street. "It's terrible, you know."
