Somerville teens accused of shooting people with airsoft guns

Two teenagers who allegedly shot several people with air rifles in Somerville this week were identified and located by police on Wednesday, multiple outlets reported.

That’s what the police in Somerville said Channel 7 News that teenage boys, ages 13 to 15, were masked while riding bicycles and shooting projections at people on Tuesday and Wednesday, including at a person holding an infant.

The projectiles were water beads, WHDH reported.

The first victim was injured Tuesday by the projectiles at the intersection of Prospect Street and Somerville Avenue, WCVB reported. Later that day, another person was shot on Community Path near Gilman and Walnut streets. Both victims reportedly had minor injuries.

The following day, a person was shot in the eye on Broadway, Boston 25 News reported. WHDH reported the victim was an employee of the Somerville Department of Public Works and was taken to the hospital.

Two more people were shot in Lincoln Park near Argenziano School while one was holding a baby.

Somerville police arrested two of the teenagers but are investigating whether others are involved, the news stations reported. Channel 7 reporter Steve Cooper shared a video of the teenagers talking to police on social media, and a teacher sat with the teens.
