The officers were
shot when they responded to a report of a person with a gun in
the Orient Heights neighborhood at about 11 p.m. local time, the
Boston Police Department tweeted.
"It looks like it was a domestic incident gone bad," Police
Department Commissioner William Evans told a news conference.
One of the officers was shot multiple times and was in a
critical condition. The other officer was shot once or twice and
was in a stable condition, Evans said.
The Boston Herald reported earlier that two suspects were in
custody.
