"Lowell mayor to raise police visibility after shooting; Calls incident ‘act of gang violence’" by Catalina Gaitan and Jacqueline Tempera | Globe correspondents June 26, 2014
Lowell’s mayor vowed to increase police visibility on city streets after five people were shot at a barbecue late Wednesday in what officials called “an apparent act of gang violence.”
Mayor Rodney Elliott said the backyard shooting was the result of a fight between two local gangs.
“We will hunt them down and hold them accountable,” Elliott said in a telephone interview Thursday....
Elliott said he wanted residents to know that investigators are not taking this lightly.
No one had been arrested in the Wednesday attack, but police continue to search for those responsible.
The mayor asked the public for help.
“We are looking for people in the city to tell us what they know,” the mayor said.
State and local police will keep a careful watch on the city this weekend, Elliott said.
“We work hard to make sure people feel safe,” Elliott said. “We are moving quickly and swiftly to make sure we find out what happened.”

What they are not saying -- because it would be racist and against the agenda-pu$hing pre$$ goals of world homogenization -- is the gangs are likely illegal immigrant gangs.
