A 12-year-old died of a gunshot wound in Boston on Thursday, authorities said.

The shooting took place in the afternoon at a home in the Mattapan neighborhood.

Police did not immediately make public other details, such as whether the child was a boy or girl or the circumstances under which they were shot.

Mayor Michelle Wu said first responders attempted to resuscitate the child.

"It’s a horrible tragedy for the entire city whenever anyone of our young people is lost, and for a child of this age being lost to gun violence is a nightmare," she said in a news conference at the scene. "In the summer when our kids should be enjoying, having fun, playing and growing, this is especially a nightmare for a mom and for a family."

Police Commissioner Michael Cox called the death unnecessary.

"I implore folks, if you have guns in your home ... turn them in to us," he said.
