Man with Gun Allegedly Shoots at Cars in Stringently Gun-Controlled Massachusetts

A man with a long gun allegedly shot at numerous cars on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts, around 1:30 p.m. Monday.

CBS News reported that the man was allegedly shooting at “passing cars” before being shot numerous times by a Massachusetts State Trooper.

The man was identified as 46-year-old Tyler Brown. In 2020, he “was charged with attempting to kill Boston Police officers.”

Boston 25 reported that Brown was scheduled to meet with his parole officer on Monday. He apparently missed the meeting, which led his parole officer to contact Cambridge Police to conduct a welfare check on Brown and they discovered he “was not at his residence.”

A witness who works at Mobil gas station said, “A guy holding a rifle, a semi-automatic rifle…I ran. He just started shooting out of nowhere, and he shot a lot…The guy who was shooting, they shot him down over there.” Brown was taken
