“Both victims have been transported from the scene,” he said.

Police received a call at about 4:13 p.m. reporting two people shot in the area of 11 Sunset St. in Roxbury, said Officer Stephen McNulty, a department spokesman.

Two people were shot late Sunday afternoon in Boston’s Mission Hill neighborhood, according to Boston police.

Their conditions were not known, McNulty said.

By 4:45 p.m., police had blocked off most of Sunset Street as they investigated the shootings.

The sound of a loud bang, and a cry for help that followed, startled residents of the three-family home at 11 Sunset St.

Sadye Sagov, who lives on the third floor, said she was in her bedroom when she heard about three “very, very loud noises.”


“The whole house kind of shook,” she said. “... I heard someone saying, ‘I’ve been shot, call 911!’”

Ben Landsberg, Sagov’s fiancé who lives with her and two other roommates, said that police told him the incident involved nearby residents.

The front porch is covered in bloodstains, said Landsberg.

“It looks serious,” he said.

In a previous version of this story, Sadye Sagov’s name was misspelled.
