The Boston police commissioner praised the professionalism of the responding officers who showed incredible restraint toward the suspect.
Officers converged and began canvassing the area for the suspect, who was spotted on the roof-top to the left of the warehouse. According to the report, the suspect then jumped from the roof, landing in a nearby alleyway, injuring his leg. He was immediately taken into custody and transported to Beth Israel Hospital for evaluation of his"self-inflicted leg wound."
The police commissioner called this another example of"people who have no respect for life in any way, shape or form," and said he wanted to make sure he highlighted how proud he is of the behavior of all of the responding officers. Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden spoke alongside Cox on Saturday, saying it's important to express how thankful they are that the officer who was shot is going to be okay, with Cox adding they're so fortunate the officer wasn't hurt worse.
Given that Friday's robbery of a pizza delivery driver was the second in two days in the area, Cox said the concern is understandable.
