BOSTON, Mass (WPRI) — The search is on for a driver, accused of a hit-and-run that injured police officers.

According to Boston Police Superintendent Randall Halstead, police were responding to a report of a person with a gun at around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, when they spotted a car that matched one of the three possible descriptions given.

When approaching the car, the driver took off, dragging two officers and nearly hitting two others.

I heard about this in wee hours, but needed more confirmation. Still some articles say 2 dragged, 2 injured.

I have lost count of how many police have been assaulted and or killed in last few days. This can't go on.

The suspect’s vehicle is described as a gray or silver Chevy with Connecticut plates.

Boy, that sure narrows it down.

Did he use a net or a lasso?

Shore line. Works every time. Especially when anchored to a sky hook.

Would not be shocked if the driver is non-white, as the Mayor & the Boston PD are not Tweeting about this incident, and news is sketchy.

This trend highlights the need for those with CCW to actually CARRY.

The cops need our help.

If you see a cop in distress HELP!

None of them shot at the car? Its that reluctance to shoot that is getting them killed. Thanks Obama and Black Lies Matter.

“Superintendent Randall Halstead said two plainclothes officers approached the vehicle, and the driver, identified as Vincent Weaks, 34, of Roxbury.”

(He dragged two officers, and hit two others with the front of his car.)
