I just couldn't let you read it from the Lynn Item's site. Too many typos.

One man in critical condition after pair shot in Revere
By Thor Jourgensen / The Daily Item

REVERE - Two gunshot victims are in the hospital following a 2 a.m. shooting across from City Hall.

A police spokesman said, "We are not actively looking for a suspect."

Police responded to multiple reports of gunshots at 10 Yeamans St. at the corner of Broadway. They entered an open apartment at that address, found it empty then found a man with a gunshot wound to the chest approximately a block a way on Reservoir Avenue.

Police declined to identify the 40-year-old man who is listed in critical condition at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.

A short time after finding the first shooting victim officials from Whidden Memorial Hospital in Everett called Revere Police to report a second gunshot victim.

Revere Police Sgt. Jeffrey Langone said officers interviewed the 25-year-old man in the hospital but he refused to answer any questions.
The second victim was shot in the back. At this time, his condition is unknown.

Police did not say if the two men lived in the apartment on Yeamans Street but said they are investigating the shooting and interviewing witnesses.

Police have responded to the building in the past but declined to comment on whether the two individuals have a history with the department.
