2 police officers shot, suspect dead in Boston
Two officers were shot and taken to the hospital after responding to a report of a person with a gun in the Orient Heights area of East Boston.
According to Boston Police Commissioner William Evans, one of the officers is in critical condition at Massachusetts General Hospital after being shot multiple times. The other officer is in stable condition. Neither officer’s name has been released.
Just after midnight, Evans announced that the suspect was dead inside the home and the shelter in place order was lifted.
Evans and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh are at Massachusetts General Hospital and are expected to update the situation overnight.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the two officers shot, their friends, family, and all of the Boston Police Department.
