Police investigating apparent shooting at Boston home

An investigation is underway after an apparent shooting at a home in Boston early Thursday morning.

Officers were called to a home at 718 Cummins Highway in the city's Mattapan section, not far from the Blue Hill Avenue MBTA stop.

At least one person was taken to the hospital, although there was no immediate word on the extent of their injuries.

Video from the scene showed the area flooded with flashing police lights as officers scoured the home for evidence. Glass on the front door was also shattered.

Investigators cleared the property just before 4:30 a.m. and the home appeared to have been empty.

A judge recused himself Tuesday from presiding over Arizona's fake electors case after an email surfaced in which he told fellow judges to speak out against attacks on Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign for the presidency. In the Aug. 29 email, Maricopa County Judge Bruce Cohen lamented that he didn't speak out when Harris was called a "DEI hire," believes that white men must speak out against unfair treatment of women, and raised a historical lesson from the Holocaust about the need to speak up when people are attacked. Cohen didn't specify who made the comment regarding Harris.
