A man who was injured in a police shooting in Revere, Massachusetts, was ordered held without bail Monday on charges that he shot at police officers responding to a call Friday night of an armed man acting erratically on one of the city's busiest streets.
The witness said he ducked for cover, only 100 feet away from the gunfire.
"Walking to the ATM, turned around, heard someone yelling some stuff, next thing I know police are coming in, all of a sudden I hear 'drop the gun,'" he said."Next thing you know, I'm turning to try not to look at the situation, just hear pow pow pow. Three or four shots rang out. Ran to get covered. Next thing I know the guy's down. And then I got out as soon as I can before I got blocked in.
Police confirmed an officer fired his weapon and struck the suspect. They said there was an exchange of gunfire, and the man fired first.“People carrying guns and being so willing to use them present terrible threats to our communities. But what’s also extremely troubling here is where these incidents took place—including a crowded street in Revere, a busy gas station parking lot in Roslindale, and a playground in Charlestown.
Cote was ordered to undergo an evaluation at Bridgewater State Hospital. His next court date is April 29. An investigation is ongoing.
