The incident took place at approximately 7:44 a.m. on Saturday during the Caribbean Parade route in Dorchester, as reported by CBS News.

Upon receiving a report of multiple individuals being shot, law enforcement officers promptly arrived at the intersection of Blue Hill Avenue and Talbot Avenue.

Seven victims sustained gunshot wounds and were subsequently transported to nearby hospitals. Fortunately, their injuries were not life-threatening.

The police were able to recover firearms from the scene and make several arrests. However, specific details regarding the arrests have not been disclosed.

The investigation into the incident is still ongoing, according to authorities.

Previous incidents of shootings in close proximity to the Caribbean Parade have been documented, as reported by CBS Boston. Tragically, a man lost his life last year, and in 2014, an innocent bystander named Dawnn Jaffier was fatally shot.
