In a startling burst of bloodshed last night, six people were shot within two hours, and two women were stabbed, police said.
A man was rushed to Brigham and Women's Hospital after being riddled with five bullets at about 7:50 p.m. at 110 Hamilton St. in Dorchester, police said.
Homicide investigators were initially called to investigate, but the man, described as in his early 20s and listed in serious condition, was expected to survive.
Cops then responded to a reported triple shooting at 124 Harvard St. in Dorchester, where they found only one victim, a man who was expected to survive.
About 15 minutes later at 9:45 p.m., police located the other two victims on Shafter Street in Dorchester.
Two of the victims were grazed in the leg and the other was shot in the leg, said officer David Estrada.
Earlier in the evening, at 7:40 p.m., a gunman shot a 17-year-old male while he was holding a 4-year-old relative, hitting the teen in the arm and the tot in the back, police and emergency workers said.
BPD spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll said investigators are looking into whether the shootings are linked, but have no indication other than their close proximity and time that the incidents were related. The names of the victims were not released.
Also last night, two women were stabbed in separate incidents in West Roxbury, police said.
One woman was stabbed in the arm on Maplewood Street, and the other suffered multiple stab wounds in a brutal domestic incident on Edgemere Road. Police said she is expected to survive.
