Welcome to Springfield, MA
"You loot we shoot..."​

I will personally buy ammo to replace the spent rounds of those fine public servants at the Springfield gun show tomorrow....

Hmm. In one article they shot at police. In another they tried to run them over. The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if the dead perp got a free "drop gun" from one of the officers. Although I personally think that its reasonable for a cop to shoot at a guy trying to run him over, there's much less armchair quarterbacking if the bg is also armed.

Doesn't seem like anyone is dead in this situation.

Other officers at that location put them under arrest. The suspects are at the hospital being treated for non-life threatening injuries.

I use to work in Springfield, cops that work that area are probably use to that kind of bologna. South main is a rough part of town.
