No suspects had been identified by 9:30 p.m.
The 7-year-old, whose name was also not released, suffered non life threatening injuries near his eye area, police said.
He might have caught a piece of bullet fragment, said Lt. Tom LaFratta.
The 18-year-old was shot and was found lying on a porch at 141 Winthrop St., police and witnesses said.
We heard gunshots, saw the blood, said one witness who asked not to be identified. We saw a guy on the porch. He was lying down.
Police recovered a handgun in bushes on nearby West Harvard Street.
A state police helicopter was hovering over West Elm Street and Belmont Avenue shortly after the shooting looking for the suspect or suspects.
