At about 1:51am, on Monday, September 17, 2007, officers from Area B-2 (Roxbury) were on patrol in the area of Blue Hill Avenue when they heard people yelling, “He’s got a gun!” Officers quickly exited their cruiser and approached the individual believed to have had the weapon. After searching the suspect, officers were unable to locate a firearm. At this point, a witness came forward and told officers that the suspect had thrown the weapon into a nearby yard.
