"We ask the public, particularly people in this area, if you’ve seen something or saw anything unusual or cars in the area, please let us know," Cox said.
Mayor Michelle Wu condemned the violence. She said families with young children and teenagers should be able to focus on school instead of fearing gunfire.
"I’m angry, I am upset as a mom, as someone who has been working with all of our teams to make sure we can do everything possible to create opportunities in our city," Wu said Sunday.
