A Massachusetts police officer described as a “great family man and officer” died Sunday after a man attacked him with a rock, then took the cop's gun and shot him in the head and chest, officials said.

Weymouth police officer Michael Chesna, 42, was killed after he sustained "life threatening" injuries in the shooting just before 8 a.m., officials. Another woman in her home was also shot and killed when the suspect, Emmanuel Lopes, fired the gun three more times while escaping responding officers.

“Officer Chesna was an army veteran. In fact, I was speaking with his mom this morning and she told me she joined the military to help open the doors to get on this job [as a police officer],” Weymouth Police Chief Richard Grimes said in a news conference.

Emmanuel Lopes is the murderer and haven't been able to find any further info on him. Illegal alien?

Additional responding officers chased Lopes through the neighborhood, where he allegedly discharged Chesna’s gun again, killing an elderly woman in her home. Her name has not been released pending next of kin notification.

Police reportedly shot Lopes in the leg. He is expected to survive and will be arraigned Monday on two counts of murder. It’s unclear if he will be arraigned in the hospital or in a courtroom. It’s also unclear if he has an attorney.

Knowing the filth that hold titles like “Mayor”,”District Attorney” and “Judge” here in the Gay State I’d wager everything I own that this pig has five identities,five “SNAP” cards and no US citizenship.

Used to live in that town when I worked up thee,and it was a peaceful place back then. Of course there was no diversity back then either.

We need to create a traveling memorial wall similar to the traveling Vietnam Wall, that lists all the dead killed by illegal immigrants. Travel from city to city before the election.

The arraignment should take place with the prosecutor standing on his air hose.

Last week, a poster named The Pack Knight said those who cannot afford bail should not be detained before trial:

The article is about people who are detained pre-trial because they cannot afford bail. Pre-trial, as in they have not been convicted of a crime. The law still affords those people the presumption that they have not broken the law, until it is proven to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt at a fair trial that they have.

I wonder if he think Mr. Lopes should be freed without bail.

You will have to wait for the Howie Carr show to figure that one out for you. Boston Stupid media would not publish the information if it was tattooed on his face.

BUT, they did not say he wasn’t illegal. That usually means he is. We do know he was homeless last fall when arrested for selling cocaine to minors...

FYI, the name "Lopes" is Portuguese.
