BOSTON — The third Boston Police officer injured in an hourslong standoff on Tuesday has been released from the hospital. That officer has been identified by the Boston Police Patrolman’s Association as Officer Mike Ridge.
The other two officers had already been released from the hospital.
The suspect, 37-year-old Dashaun Wright, was killed after a five-hour-plus negotiation ended in a hail of bullets.
It started when he allegedly pulled a gun on people inside a home on Ferndale Street. SWAT teams, as well as Boston Police negotiators, were called to the scene and spent more than five hours trying to get Wright to surrender but police say he shot first.
Wright died at the scene. The officers were rushed to the hospital.
Suffolk County District Attorney Rachel Rollins’ Office is investigating the shootings.
