A man and woman, both 26, were found in Dorchester by Boston police late Monday night with multiple gunshot wounds to the legs, said Rafael Ruiz, the police night superintendent.

Both victims, whose names were not released, were transported to Boston Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, Ruiz said.

The shots were reported by neighbors, who heard the gunfire at around 11:35 p.m. at 3 Bakersfield St., according to Ruiz. The victims were found outside the apartment building.

Ruiz confirmed the woman is a resident of Bakersfield Street, and the man lives elsewhere in Dorchester.
