Boston Police have recovered a handgun from the harbor off of Long Wharf, after a passerby noticed it there at about 10 a.m. today, police said.
Boston police dive teams responded to the scene, near 296 State St., and successfully recovered the weapon, said police spokesman Officer James Kenneally.
"It's not often that you get a call that ultimately leads to the recovery of a weapon in a situation like this," Kenneally said.
Kenneally said the firearm would be forwarded to the ballistics lab, where police would try and determine if it had been used in a crime.
