After an argument ensued, the scooter driver pulled out a handgun and fired two shots at Thompson, striking him once in the chest, he said.“We do not feel it is gang related or drug related,” the sergeant said. “We don’t know if it was some macho thing or what.”Police have a suspect but no one is in custody, Robustelli said. Witnesses have helped police to identify the suspect, he said. The sergeant said the suspect is a young man who knew Thompson.This is the second shooting on Brookline Street in the past week.
