Update On Friday Night's Shooting Via Arlington Police

The following press release was sent to Patch from the Arlington Police Department:

The victim’s of the recent shooting both remain in serious condition in Boston area hospitals and we are told that they are both likely to survive. One victim is a 21-year-old Somerville resident and the other is a 17-year-old Waltham resident.

Arlington Detectives continue to investigate the case and follow the facts where they take us in hopes of learning the motive for these shootings.

This does not appear to have been a random act of violence and both suspects remain in the custody of the Arlington Police Department and they no longer pose any danger to the public. Both suspects will be arraigned on Monday morning at Cambridge District Court.

I want to thank members of the community for cooperating with our investigators last night as well as members of the Cambridge Police Department for supporting us during the manhunt for the armed gunman. As our officers worked their way easterly from the crime scene in search of the suspect, Cambridge officers worked their way westerly toward the crime scene, and the suspect was captured in the middle by Cambridge Police Officers. After the suspect was placed into custody Arlington police K9 Dasty and K9 Handler Officer Mike Hogan lead investigators to a wooded area where the firearm had been discarded by the suspect.
