Boston Police Officer Shoots Teen

EAST BOSTON (WBZ) ― A Boston police officer shot and wounded a teenager when his gun went off during a struggle Wednesday night in East Boston.

The officer tried to stop a car on Princeton Street just before 9 p.m. as part of an undercover drug investigation.  That's when the struggle began with the 18-year-old.

The teen was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital with a non life-threatening wound to the chest.

The officer was also taken to the hospital as a precaution to be treated for stress.

Police have not identified the officer or the teenager.

Investigators say one person is under arrest in addition to the shooting victim.
