Governor Healey Praises Heroic Response of Massachusetts State Police and First Responders During Memorial Drive Shooting

  

BOSTON - Governor Maura Healey today released the following statement regarding the actions of Massachusetts State Police troopers and first responders during yesterday’s shooting on Memorial Drive in Cambridge:  

 

“Yesterday, we saw once again the extraordinary courage and selflessness of the Massachusetts State Police, Cambridge Police, and our first responders. In the middle of a terrifying and chaotic situation on Memorial Drive, troopers and emergency personnel ran toward danger to protect innocent people, secure the scene and prevent further violence. Their quick actions and professionalism undoubtedly saved lives.

 

We are especially grateful for the heroism of the State Police trooper who put himself directly in harm’s way during the incident as officers worked to stop the threat and protect the public. I spoke with him last night, thanked him, and told him that his actions reflected the very best of law enforcement and public service under extraordinarily dangerous circumstances. This is a particularly poignant reminder as we lay to rest this week Trooper Kevin Trainor, who lost his life while heading toward danger to keep people safe. 

 

I want to thank every law enforcement officer from the Cambridge Police Department, firefighter, EMT, dispatcher and first responder who answered the call yesterday and worked together to protect the people of Cambridge during an incredibly dangerous and fast-moving situation. I am equally grateful to the civilian who courageously stepped in to assist law enforcement during this terrifying incident, demonstrating extraordinary bravery in a moment of crisis. I have also spoken with him and expressed our deep gratitude. 

 

I want the people of Massachusetts to know that my entire administration, alongside law enforcement agencies across our state, is working day in and day out to keep our communities safe. Violence like this has no place in Massachusetts. We will continue doing everything we can to protect public safety, strengthen partnerships across law enforcement and communities, and ensure that the brave men and women who put on the uniform every day have the tools and support they need.”
