Police are investigating after a DoorDash driver was shot while making a delivery Friday night in Boston’s Brighton neighborhood.
Police said the frightening incident happened on Faneuil Street at around 11:40 p.m. Fourteen-year-old Jenny said she was standing right next to the DoorDash driver when he was shot.
