TD Garden windows shattered by possible BB gunfire for second time in June


Boston Police were called to TD Garden – home of the Boston Bruins and the Boston Celtics – on Friday to investigate damage to exterior windows after receiving reports of shots fired. 

Police first responded around 10:30 a.m. ET on Friday and were informed that two second-floor double-pane windows were shattered like a spiderweb, according to the police report.

Two TD Garden employees who were down the hallway from the windows told police they heard “two loud smacks.” 

Officers searched the area and found no evidence of bullet fragments or casings.

A similar report was filed on June 1 when police responded to a call for shots fired at TD Garden and found that a single window had been shot, also by a possible BB gun. 

No injuries were reported in either incident.
