WEYMOUTH, Mass. -- A Massachusetts police officer and bystander have died from wounds sustained when a suspect allegedly took the officer's gun and fired following a vehicle crash and a foot chase. Authorities say Weymouth officer Michael Chesna was shot multiple times before 8 a.m. Sunday, and died from the injures at South Shore Hospital.

Officials say an unidentified elderly woman also died after being hit by stray bullets in a nearby home.

Weymouth Police Chief Richard Grimes identified the shooting suspect as Emmanuel Lopes, and said he was in custody.

Police say the suspect crashed a car, fled the scene, and attacked Chesna with a stone. Chesna fell to the ground, and officials say, Lopes took the officer's gun and shot Chesna multiple times.

Lopes then fled and fired more shots during a chase. Police say some of those shots fatally struck the woman. Lopes suffered a leg wound.

Chesna had been with the Weymouth Police Department for six years, almost to the day, CBS Boston reports. He leaves behind a wife and two young children.

Absolutely not sure. I’m making a cogent joke based on the current situation in NE States and far Western states, run by communists trying to destroy America.

I have no problem with any legal Hispanic or any other legally international guest.

Impossible. The LEFT says unarmed suspects are not dangerous.
