Three people, including a gunman, were killed Saturday after a man stole a plumber’s truck, crashed it into a building and opened fire on two bystanders before being felled by police, authorities said.
After the crash in Winthrop, Massachusetts, just outside Boston, the suspect was on foot and shot a male and female, Massachusetts State Police said in a statement.
“We are investigating whether the male may have been trying to engage the suspect to end the threat,” state police said.
Winthrop police opened fire on the suspect, killing him, they said. The male and female also died, according to Massachusetts State Police.
A Winthrop officer was hospitalized “but was not seriously injured,” the Winthrop department said in a statement.
