(NBC) – A man armed with an assault rifle and wearing a ballistic vest was killed after shooting two Boston police officers responding to a domestic incident late Wednesday, officials said.
Both officers were in “extremely critical” condition early Thursday, with one of them suffering life-threatening injuries from the dramatic shootout, Boston Police Commissioner Bill Evans told reporters.
“All of the officers, I think, exhibited extreme courage and bravery in a situation that we all too often never know what to expect,” Evans said
