There were several reports of gunfire during the incident, which started at about 1 p.m. with a report of a stolen Acura on Lincoln Road in Newton. The suspect led police through Billerica, Concord, and Bedford, carjacking several vehicles in the process.

(2/2) Couple bursts of belt fed 308 would have brought that pursuit to a real quick stop.

Can't believe the guy crashed the gate at Hanscom. Takes me back to standing watch at the gate in the bunker with my Mk43. (1/2)

Interestingly, I've never been carjacked or home invaded ..

Must be luck.

Certainly not because I have a SW 442 in right pants/shorts pocket always, plus G26 also on me when driving/walking anywhere, either in coat/hooded zip sweatshirt with holster in inner pocket, or ankle holster, or IWB... plus Fox Labs (the best) 5.3 Pepper Spray in left pocket... Home? A Glock (I own several: all either the 26 or 22) hidden in literally every room of the house...
Wife never been carjacked either (SW 442 in either her coat/IWB/or even has a modified holster contraption we designed, in her bra/boobs that holds the 442 (The gun is a .38, the boobs are a 42DD )....

Oldest daughter? Dear Mr. Carjacker: she looks younger than her age of 26, and looks like a meek angel, a soft target, and you figured an "easy carjack" with your switchblade. Unfortunately she also has a 442 on her always, and often HER own G26...and DAMMIT what was that mist she just sprayed in your face that is leaving you coughing, gagging and, temporarily, partially blind for the next half hour or so? (Fox!)...

So, instead, you'll probably choose to try and grab my younger daughter, since you probably realize she's old enough to vote (Republican,Libertarian, or TeaParty, etc) but she's certainly not 21 and able to carry, so you'll just grab her as she's getting into her car and... SPRAY!... ("cough cough gag cough.. DAMMIT!.. cough cough")

You're right, though, Martha.
Why does anyone need a gun in Mass.? And why would we want to legalize pepper spray?

Nothing bad ever happens here.... It's all in your imagination, citizens of the Commonwealth.. Remy, Amy Lord, Benzino's crew on Route 3, Marathon bomber eludes cops (but just call 911 so we can magically appear, save you, then lose the TEENAGER again) and then terrorizes the entire "sheltered" region... Gary Sampson, rapists in East Boston and the North End, etc etc etc etc etc etc.

All just your imagination. And, even if real, what's a little rape every now and then, eh? You'll get over it.

Move along. Nothing to see here, folks.

I wonder if you've never been carjacked because simply moving the weight of your weaponry makes it an impossible task....

I hope this doesn't adversely affect Newton's top ranked position in lowest city crime rates. If it does, we should be able to sue the guy for damage to our property values.

 

[dragonballzz]

Funny... The "scene in newton" happened a couple of buildings away from the police station.

 

[HuntMaine]

I think it's because he played too much grand theft auto.

 

[cekim]

I cannot fathom how anything high-speed can happen on that route through Concord, there is a cabal of slowsters that ensures you never break 20 through large stretches of 62.

 

[WhiteTiger]

I just can't believe that the guy crashed the gates at Hanscomb and lived.

Less surprising once you see the whole thing....

Nah, they have m16a2 and m9. The contractors they use have only m9.

I guess they are both somewhat primitive....

Reports I heard today was that he didn't breach the base. He turned on the Vandenberg entrance but did a bout face and got stopped over in Bedford. I am not saying that is true, but it is what was told to us. Plus, the base never went into lockdown which would have most defintly happened and "no shots were fired" per the pa officer.
