People responding to a call of a person with a gun second one just last week in roslindale folks are stopping the train and gunfire was exchanged there as well. But kind of two officers down and its something that obviously family of Law Enforcement members. They go out just doing their job but knowing every night that Something Like this can happen. Interesting to pass along too i think if you know there are people flying in airport they could be held up as the Police Investigation continues in that area. Be prepared it may take a little while to get home especially if you have to go anywhere near this particular area up to revere you may be going in the gladstone area. Thats white stadium in east boston. The High School Stadium you can see its not far from gladstone street.

You can just imagine people there are just extremely scared and nervous tonight as they continue to search for this suspect and they have heard all the Police Activity the lights and sirens. On twitter showing just a massive Police Presence in the area. You can imagine when officerses get the call the reports th men is down the response weve seen it time and time again. Of course were all familiar with the police from the marathon bombings. Communities people shelter in place this is what were seeing here tonight in a much more concentrated area of east boston. But again they are searching for if you are in a home in that area an apartment you will want to make sure that you have your doors the time being and let Law Enforcement get out there into the community and try and apprehend the suspects they are searching for.

Force tonight as they deal with this issue. Ock i just think about the people who live in that neighborhood. The cover of night theyre trying to see whats going on out the window no doubt seeing several police cars in the area and the flights flashing and so forth. Seeing a lot of Law Enforcement on the ground. Typically in a situation like this going inside of houses try to uncover the may be hiding. Thats whats taking place right now.

Fewer people on the street and find or locate floepfully the individual theyre searching for. Lets talk about the timing real quickly. 10 56 is when they responded. A person with a weapon at 136 gladstone street in east boston thats what prompted them to go there in the first place. Gunfire had been exchanged two officers were down. You had unconfirmed reports as well that a suspect was down. Still getting confirmation on.

We want to thank tony stark for the images that you are seeing right here. You also see the helicopter up above and the ambulance as well. As they try to make sure that they take care of this just as quickly as possible. As you can see reaction the video will pan from right to at the zi you will see they have the lights right here and thats the helicopter shed some light down on the scene from above. State Police Helicopter i would guess at this point so they are in the area as well. So theyre in the air literally over the scene. Police on the ground and medical personnel that need to do their job to be protected at the same time. As you mention the scanner traffic saying the swat team and personnel are coming in to make occur to the point where they can take care of these injured officers. And get the ambulance and start the search for any remaining suspects out here right now. Again a shelter in place as you can see on the screen where these two officer were shot about 10 51 the first call came in. In the past 20, 25 minutes they have asked that a shelter in place be put into this is a situation where they need you off the streets in your homes with your doors and windows locked. Try to ride this out as they do their work. John monahan is probably about now i would guess getting very close to the scene.
