A 10-year-old Boston girl was critically injured after a bullet from a nearby gathering shot through her wall and struck her — leading an emotional BPD Commissioner William Gross to hammer coronavirus scofflaws and soft-on-crime judges alike for a lack of “common sense.”

Cops at 5:12 p.m. Saturday were called to Nazing Street for reports of a person shot. They found the girl, who was taken to a local hospital, where she was in critical condition two hours later, police said.

Gross, speaking to reporters down the street from the Grove Hall-area shooting, said it appears that there was “some kind of gathering” in an adjacent apartment. Someone there fired a gun, and an “errant bullet” went through the wall and struck the young girl.

“People just are not listening,” Gross said about people flouting the coronavirus rules over social distancing. “Some people are going to start having to practice common sense and stop blaming everyone else for everything.

“We have to stop this attitude of making excuses,” the commissioner continued, turning his ire to Judge Christine Roach, who this week ordered the release of William Utley, who’s charged with murder.

“When you do things like that, it sets a tone: I can do whatever I want. I can do whatever I want if you’re letting an alleged murderer go. What do you think the attitude is going to be out here in the street? So yeah, I’m pissed off about it,” Gross said.

Gross then said, “So now a 10-year-old is shot. I can’t tell you how many guns we’ve taken off the street this year, and it’s the same individuals. You as a community, you have to hold some people accountable for their actions … A 10-year-old was shot. That didn’t have to happen.”

This comes just three days after a 17-year-old girl was shot to death. An 18-year-old man is charged with that crime. Gross, who frequently wears his heart on his sleeve, was visibly emotional and frustrated as he addressed reporters across police tape on Nazing Street.

“People need to adhere to what they’re told to do,” Suffolk District Attorney Rachael Rollins said. “We will hold them accountable.”

Mayor Martin Walsh said, “This is clearly the case of someone who is a complete coward who put a 10-year-old little girl in the hospital.”

He added, “The gun play in the streets of Boston needs to stop.”

Gross said the incident remains an “active investigation.” Cops at one point dashed away as the scanner buzzed about a person with the gun — and they made an arrest, though Gross, speaking just a few minutes later, said it’s too early to tell if that arrest is connected to this shooting.

The police department is asking anyone with information to call 1-800-494-TIPS to report anonymously.
