An armed man in his 20s being surveilled by the FBI counterterrorism unit was shot and killed by an FBI agent and a Boston police officer in Roslindale this morning, according to Boston Police Commissioner William Evans.
Evans said the suspect was wielding a large military-style black knife.
FBI Special Agent in Charge Vincent B. Lisi is at the scene, and Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh is expected as well, FBI spokeswoman Kristin Setera told the Herald.
Dozens of police officers have swarmed the small shopping plaza and officers are seeking surveillance video from a nearby Dunkin' Donuts, employees said.
An eyewitness who declined to give his name said the suspect was armed with a knife and had a "scabard" when he lunged at police and was shot.
Developing...
“CVS” and “Dunkin’ Donuts” in Boston? Really? Is a pub nearby? /sarc.
Maybe he was a jihadist looking to behead some Roslindale shoppers.
However, when I see the FBI was involved, my BS alarm is screaming.
No, not a scabbard!!! Fry him...
That would make it a "concealed weapon." Tack another charge onto the corpse.
Not just a scabbard...a Military Style Scabbard...cue the skeery music
Um...is there anyone out there who thinks one of these nose picking cotton candy brained “reporters” would know the difference between an ordinary scabbard and a “military” one?
” a large military-style black knife”
Ah...an “Assault Knife”!
I say take her in!
This was probably completely justified. But what I get out of it is a local cop was more than happy to help a federal agent and probably only on the agent’s word.
I believe when the feds come to town the locals will fall all over themselves to help the feds act beyond the constitution.
Happened two weeks ago in Waco. Will happen more what with all the new military type toys the feds are sending to so many Podunkville police departments.
LOL!
Sounds like 80 Muslim terrorist were ignored so the FBI “might’ be able to find a white vet... that’s my guess. We know who they hate and who they protect...
Usaama Rahim,26,had been plotting to
kill police.He will not be down for
breakfast.
