A suspected gunman was killed by police Saturday afternoon in Winthrop, Massachusetts after he allegedly crashed a stolen semi-truck into a building, shot and killed two bystanders, then was gunned down by responding officers, Massachusetts State Police told WFXT, the Fox-affiliated TV station in Boston.
People who live near the scene told WBZ-TV that a man leveled a brick building with a truck and gunshots were heard as he ran away from the crash.
Two bystanders, a male and a female, were shot and killed after the crash.
"We are investigating whether the male may have been trying to engage the suspect to end the threat. The female and male are both deceased," Massachusetts State Police told WFXT.

So, gun violence or semi violence? We already know.
He was just trying to find a parking space,
Wow.
A perfect CHiPS script idea. They had Ponch leap onto a semi more than once (as the “explosives” and “gasoline”) it hauled was about to crash into a nitroglyerine warehouse.
Never a cotton ball warehouse or a toy store.
In real life (such as it is) my Walgreen’s Pharmacy drive thru had an airborne, all four tires off the road, car sail into the building. An elderly driver was going over 80 (possibly 90) mph and bounced up an incline from the highway and smashed into the store.
It took weeks to open any of the store, and more weeks to remodel and open the drive thru area nd the pharmacy department. No one was killed.
A male? That’s the only description of the perp? How does the press know he identifies as male?
Thankfully he had passed a background check for his firearm.
Did he have both vax jabs? Maybe that’s what sent him over the edge.
Coulter's Law almost certainly applies here.
Poor officers
The gunman last words were:
“I can’t Breath”.
So, you’re saying he’s black.
“Burn a ghetto down for me”. I think that’s what he said.
Movin On would have done this better I think.
Will, Sonny, and somehow involve Moose and Benjy.

Another black on white murder?
Straight truck, not semi truck, so definitely straight gun violence.
“Multiple sources tell 5 Investigates that the male victim is a retired Massachusetts State Police trooper. ...”
State police say they are investigating whether the male victim may have been trying to engage the suspect to end the threat. Authorities said the female victim was a bystander. ...”

I'm saying the chances that he's white are growing smaller with each passing hour, especially a white man who can be tied in any way to the Republican Party, Donald Trump, or the NRA.
I’m sorry to plead ignorance (no one here is surprised?) as I never heard of it, somehow. Looked it up and I should like it.
Thanks.
