Gunfire at a Roxbury traffic stop leaves BPD officer injured, suspect dead

DA says use of force was justified.

WCVB reports Boston Police say a traffic stop around 2:20 a.m. on Gerard Street, between Kemble and Allerton on the Roxbury side of Newmarket Square, ended with a man in the car opening fire on two officers, who returned fire. One of the officers was hit several times, but is expected to survive. The car sped off; but police found it a few blocks away, on George Street at Magazine, with the shooter, a man in his 30s, dead inside.

The Suffolk County District Attorney's office will review the incident.
