Officials from the Somerville Police Department, City Hall, and the State House met with concerned residents (roughly 30) in the library of the Winter Hill Community School to discuss a shooting that occurred on Central Street in the early morning hours of Saturday March 31st.
The current tenants are responsible for physical improvements to the house, gaining them appreciation from neighbors.
Mayor Joe Curtatone pointed out that this meeting was just one in a series that had taken place in the wake of this incident and that the city would seek the assistance of both the Solicitor's Office (if needed) and the Inspectional Services Department in dealing with the property. ISD will be making a formal request to inspect the location to the owner. Ed Nuzzo, as well as, the Mayor noted that the property owner was cooperating fully with the city.
This issue will be taken on by the Committee on Public Safety for follow-up discussions.

Courtney - did you hear anything about another shooting at 132 Central St the weekend of December 8th? According to neighbors accounts, a gunshot was fired early morning (4:00-4:30 AM) during an argument/confrontation on the 3rd floor. The city and local newspapers have not reported this incident. This is the second shooting at this address this year.
Hi Anonymous,
I did not hear about this. It was not published in the local newspapers because, I assume, the police were not called. How did you hear about it?
