In the past, we would have said no. But, a recent Massachusetts case ruled that the landlord was liable for a vicious dog owned by the tenant who he knew was dangerous.

Can you break your lease if there is multiple shootings at your residence and possible involvement with other tenants?

It is the landlord's responsibility to ensure tenants' safety, as well as "reasonable enjoyment" of their rental unit. Therefore, if you feel you are in danger from other tenants, and your landlord will not remove those tenants, you have the right to move out. HOWEVER, be sure you give your landlord WRITTEN notice stating your reasons for moving, and backing those reasons up with documentation! In fact, I would suggest you contact a lawyer specializing in landlord/tenant issues for further advice.
