Phet Gouvonvong, 31, of Worcester, was identified as the victim.
The officer who shot Gouvonvong has not been identified.
“Our policy when there is an officer-involved shooting is to put the officer on administrative leave, which is where the officer is now,” said police Lt. Sean Murtha. “It’s always a stressful thing for the officers involved. We have spoken to him. He appears to be doing OK right now.”
The confrontation began about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday after a man called police and said he was carrying a rifle and a bomb. He was threatening to detonate the device, District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr. told reporters. The man was wearing body armor, Early said.
