A Massachusetts state trooper who fatally shot a Dracut man accused of stealing multiple vehicles and stabbing an employee at a New Hampshire car dealership was justified in the use of deadly force, according to the results of an investigation released Thursday.
When Trooper Steven Buccheri shot Thomas C. Murray in Newbury on Feb. 16, âhe reasonably believed that he, his fellow officers and the public were in imminent danger of being seriously injured or killed by Mr. Murray,â Plymouth District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz said in a statement.
