Last night we got a tip that on the police scanner they were talking about a shooting at a home on Flagg Street. If you’re not from the Woo, Flagg Street is as good as it gets around here. It’s in the heart of the West Side, Bob Cousy lives somewhere over there, and so do a bunch of other really successful people with money.
We were honestly looking forward to waking up today and finding out what the hell happened. After all, we’re in the middle of a gang war right now, but until this point it’s all stayed on the OTHER side of Park Avenue. Gangsters shooting (and missing) at each other is nothing new. But the second it comes into this part of town, it’s gonna be a HUGE problem. Maybe then Joe Petty will actually do something about it.
That’s why we were shocked when this was the only thing we could find out about it today:
Home invasion? What the fuck? On Flagg Street? This is what Flagg Street looks like:
Yea, an armed home invasion with two people getting shot would kind of be a big deal. So yea, anybody know what the hell is going on with this?

Thanks for the purpose of delivering this sort of terrific information
That’s right folks. We are licensed to carry and our dog likes to bark. Set off my alarm when I’m home and get ready for a bullet to come your way.
Perfect night at the range. Few bugs, good cigar, tight groupings.
Making noise is relaxing. Again, call first before stopping by.
Wtf turtleboy i usually like ur post but u fu*ked up on this one. Why is it that if crime crosses the other side of park st. Its a HUGE problem thats bullshit, thats how i can tell ur a Donald Trump loving whiteboy. It should be a HUGE problem no matter where in the city it is. I moved to the Woo 5 years ago and tbh i freaking love it here and compared to where i used to live trust me the Woo is not that bad yet. How bout u start rallying up ur gang of whiteboys and take it straight to the mayors office and do what u people do best plus with election year coming up im pretty sure all these politicians will do what ever the people want, well at least what the white people want anyways
Facts don’t lie. 9/10 Violent crimes are committed by blacks or Hispanics. Nothing racist about that. 9 times out of ten if you point the finger at a black or Hispanic you are right. I’ll take those odds
Coddling never works, it never worked in Boston and certainly not New York. Gangsters need to be stomped out. Continued silence from the City Council and State Reps.
Pardon me – the end close to Pleasant Street.
Another RJ? That’s just confusing.
OK, so only the bottom of the three images appears to actually be Flagg Street. You should be more careful. The top two pictures show a street that is clearly West Side Worcester but is too narrow. Correct me if I’m wrong. Thanks.
And yes, the only three-decker/apartment dwellings on Flagg Street are on the end close to Salisbury Street.
Some of the comments on here amaze me, what people get out of this…reminds me of when we were younger, you were with a bunch of people, one person whispers a phrase, then 2nd person repeats that phrase until it gets to the last person, by the time it gets to the last person, the original phrase was totally out of context…people only see what they want to see…they add in their two cents and BLAM, there is controversy. Yes, people were injured and a dog was killed, but, in reality, the community needs to get together and make our city a better place to live…we can’t depend on politicians, we are a multiracial community, we all bleed the same color. People need to stop the racial problems and stop pointing fingers and come together as one.
I’ve yet to see anyone in the 22 comments so far, except for you, bring race in to this discussion. We all know that the gangbanger, savage, and thug communities – who seem to be coddled by the politicians, college and high school administrations, SJW’s and others – are multi-cultural too. The issue is they are creeping out of their predicable dumpy hoods in to nicer sections of the city, which SHOULD get the attention of the spineless politicians.
The same spineless politicians who rather have the cops do summer impact patrols acting as apologists rather than crunch down on the worst in the community are partly to blame for the expansion of this into good areas. Maybe Worcester should have hired Rudy Giuliani as a consultant rather than invite the DOJ to town. Spend the 100K for the Chief Diversity Officer wisely on a guy who took on the 5 families as a federal prosecutor and then every other criminal as NYC Mayor with resounding success.
Sorry, I was posting in response to the Facebook comments made under the WPD’s posting.
Hear, hear! That’s what I’m saying. NYC was a sewer before Giuliani went buck wild on criminals and their savage behavior. Now its much safer and has a much better reputation.
How does this rate a thumbs down? What is the matter with the notion of coming together as a community?
Lincoln St= Convenient Location…..Main South=Arts District…..Vernon Hill=Nice Views…..West Side=Near Paxton….real estate agents have ways of describing things in a good light.
Coffee – So mentioning where this likely occurred, as a native of Tatnuck Square, after asking for and not receiving the street number, and only going by what was written “apartment building,” and knowing landmarks to orient readers to a general location, means that I’m a snob?
Did Publius mention Berkmans Street ? Is this a coincidence that this gang crap has exploded, literally under Petty? Why crickets out of all the sitting councilors? and since in large part state appointed judges are doling out easy sentences what about Mahoney? Donahue? this year alone it took three different shooting before a judge finally decided to revoke bail on one cowardly “gangsta”.
Oh could u west siders get over yourselves…”but, but that’s lower Flagg street” or “lovell isn’t the same thing”. What city do you live in? Worcester. I hope it all trickles up your way and fast…like it did on GH…for all you yuppie, noses up in the air , snobs!!
I here where you’re coming from but lines need to be drawn. Until there are official sanctuary cities for hardworking non criminal taxpayers of all races safe from criminals, Worcester needs to figure out how to protect its residents.
Worcester needs to be broken up into a city with surrounding towns. Change the West Side to South Holden and carve out Indian Lake on the West Boylson Street side to remain in Worcester Proper. Burncoat can keep the name Burncoat or be renamed South Boylston and be bounded by West Boylston Street and The Valley. What’s left can remain Worcester proper and keep its commercial property tax base on everything inside.
And now someone makes a racial comment :Figures the suspects were black. Absolutely disgusting. This city is horrible…commented by Maggie May on the WPD FB page…wtf
Publius the shooting that happened in Newton Sq was NOT gang related
This stuff has been happening on the west side for awhile now. Lovell Street murder 2012, followed next night by murder at Newton Square, all gang related. Home invasion Ellis Drive last year. Gangsters on Wrentham and off June. Wake up. Shame on anyone who is shocked shocked!
Born and raised on Richmond Ave, less than a half mile from here. Got out in December.
Is this in Rosen’s ” beautiful Ward 5″? If so, expect noapologies for police dispensing ass kickings.
I’m guessing this is the end toward Pleasant St. across from the Episcopal Church. Several multifamily homes there.
Hate to tell all you folks but the PRESIDENT of UMASS Memorial just lives up the street on the same side as this invasion. Everyones house on the westside just took a $20,000.00 hit, thank you Joe Petty and Ed Agustus.

Not random.
What is it going to take for pudd puller Petty and Ed “Everything’s Fine” Augustus to wake up and realize that what the city needs is a 1990s Rudy Giuliani style rampage on crime. It seems like people are getting shot in the city every day now. So far its just “gangstas” shooting each other but how long until some innocent bystander catches a bullet. None of these guys seems to know how to aim very well, so it won’t be long. I say hand the WPD a bunch of overtime hours and send them out to start kicking in doors. They know who the usual suspects for this type of shit are.
Nothing new. Home invasion w murder last year on lovell street remember? Drug related most likely.
Lovell st is hardly the same type of area as flag st
It’s funny, I was just commenting to a friend recently about the recent shootings around the city. I said to my friend, “Why doesn’t any of this shit ever happen on the West Side? Let the rich folks get a taste of it. Maybe then something will be done about it.”
Now, this happens. This article just put a bug smile on my face 🙂
Eastside Johnny over here
That’s pretty fucked up that any shooting would put a smile on ones face
What number Flagg?
Don’t they know that many of us on the West Side are armed to the teeth? And legally so? And we practice. A lot.
With luck, Mrs. Nanny, the kiddos, and I will be out of Woo in a year. Born and raised here but moving to a town. Enough of this nonsense.
Til then, if you’re stopping by the NannyPad I suggest you call first.
