Three people were shot in Mattapan Saturday afternoon.
Boston Police officers responded to the first block of Hiawatha Street in Mattapan after the ShotSpotter system alerted them to the sounds of gunshots in the area.
Police say that they found three people suffering from gunshot wounds in the area: two men and one woman.
