A 26-year-old and 20-year-old victim, both from Fall River, were shot this afternoon at the intersection of Turner and Wyman streets. They then drove to the nearby Speedway on N Main to call for help, it looks like.

I know that Gas Station.. Downtown between Main and Warren is possibly the worst part of Brockton.

There's an age old debate over whether S Main or N Main (particularly close in N Main) is worse, but yeah...

I was born in Brockton.
Family moved to Avon when I was 4 years old, and most of my life during teens and early twenties was focused around Brockton, and surrounding towns.

My question is, What happened to Brockton?
It use to be a great place to live for many reasons.
I can't believe it's decline is just because a certain racial factor is the predominant percentage of residents presently.
There has to be more reasons why such a great city is now a bad place to live.
How was this allowed to happen?

Exclamation Two men shot at Dollar Tree, one fatal

1 dead, 1 injured in shooting at Brockton Dollar Tree store, sources tell WCVB

Updated today, police are looking for Luis Soto, 32. He was apparently a former employee at the store. Terminated, perhaps?
