I generally feel incredibly safe around Cambridge in general- let alone on Boylston St near the library, or anywhere on MIT&apos;s campus. At most I&apos;d expect to have something stolen, car broken into or a common mugging around there- not a random shooter running around.</text><parent_chain><item><author>ghc</author><text>Gun violence is a very uncommon thing in Boston or Cambridge...it&apos;s big news here every time it happens.
