Here's the story:
http://wwlp.com/2014/05/22/police-search-caused-greenfield-school-shelter-in-place-order/
Here's what happened:
I work for a general contractor in Greenfield. We are currently doing work at the Big-Y. Power went out there and I was dispatched to see what generator(s), lights, cords, etc was needed. Headed back to the shop and saw this...
When I asked what was going on I was informed they are searching for a suspect who committed a violent crime.
Drove around and went into the office. Was told by one of the owners that she had seen someone run by her window and was hiding in the woods. The guy looked like he was on his phone in the treeline(?). When the owners husband drove out (he was leaving rite when this happened), the guy ducked back into the woods. The treeline has a small pond in it which is used to be part of the Green river (An Oxbow I was told) so making a run for it would be met with water and pricker bushes. He looked like he was trying to hide and we/they heard all of the police about 2 blocks away. So they called Greenfield PD. Less than 3 minutes went by when the 1st state Police car drove through, and the ladies in the office saw the man hide again. They yelled out to the officer that he was less than 20 feet from him. That's when I drove up....
View from garage at the shop.
Went up on the roof with my boss, and another coworker.
Greenfield police loaded shotguns, and sent in a K9 unit.
Not less than a minute, heard yelling, barking.
Two guys in one of our work trucks returning for lunch were very surprised...
I should have put in WTF!
Ground view again. Police were searching suspect.
The Greenfield PD, and State Police did an excellent job at apprehending the suspect.
I later heard from neighbors that the suspect was a 20 year son who stabbed his father. His Father is at baystate in Springfield and expected to live. Will most likely hear more rumors as to why/how this happened.
Never a dull moment....
