Caption + A law enforcement officer walks near the scene where a Boston police officer was shot Friday morning, January 8, 2016, in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood.
Officers got the call at about 10:25 a.m., reporting an officer shot on Mt. Auburn Terrace in the Bowdoin-Geneva area, and a suspect in custody, according to police.
The officer, a nine-year veteran of the force assigned to a drug control unit in the city’s Mattapan neighborhood, had attempted to pull over a man that Police Commissioner William Evans said “was well known to police” as a drug dealer and was driving with a suspended license. “It at least saved his leg”, said Police Commissioner William Evans. A tourniquet, that police officers now have, and that he tried to apply to his own bleeding leg.
Gary Bell saw it all from his home. He was caught and tackled by other officers after a short foot pursuit. “I looked out the window and seen the guy running through my backyard”, he said. Outside Boston Medical Center, where the wounded officer is recovering, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh alluded to both issues.
“He’s my son, I can’t say anything negative about him”, the elder Headley told necn. “We’re not going to tolerate anyone going after the Boston Police Department”.
He had strong words about officers under attack across the country.
