On an otherwise quiet and pleasant fall day, things ramped up to one of the most frantic levels of police radio chatter ever heard by Quincy Quarry’s senior Citizen Police Scanner monitor over a shooting incident.

At roughly 4:11 pm today, word of shots apparently fired in the vicinity of 99 South Central Street at the base of Wollaston Hill.

A loaded handgun was then found nearby at 93 South Central.

Radio chatter indicated two black male suspects with one of them tall and the other fat.

In the vicinity of 177 Farrington Street and thus near the Wendy’s fast food restaurant on Newport Avenue in North Quincy, the passenger in the car jumped out of the car and the car abandoned at 148 Farrington.

Especially troubling, a second loaded gun was apparently found in the abandoned car.

Further, a jacket was said to have been abandoned 106 Stafford.

Police thus had at least four crime scenes where evidence from spent rounds to loaded guns to abandoned items ranging from clothing to an abandoned ride sporting Ontario Canada plates.

Police established a perimeter taking in a number of blocks around 177 Farrington Street, police K9’s were brought in, and police canvassed residences for home security video to aid in the police search.

Further, Quincy police reached out to the MBTA to hold both Red Line trains and buses for police screening.

Finally, while unclear if anyone was shot, an ambulance was on station and then called to the initial incident scene.
