Dorchester foot chase involving man with gun ends with officers using pepper spray to disperse crowd

Shortly after 6:30 p.m., Boston Police officers began chasing a man who had appeared to have a gun in the area of Ronan Street.

As they caught up with him on Ronan Street, officers nearby on Fernald Terrace found themselves surrounded by an angry crowd. One issued an "Officer in trouble" radio call, which brought officers from across the area. Another used pepper spray to try to disperse the crowd.

One gun was recovered on Ronan Street, a second in a house on Fernald Terrace. Quincy Street is shut on either side of Fernald.

Was there an NRA meeting in the area? Why else would a group of people be mad that someone got busted with a gun violation?

accountable for the BPD use of pepper spray. Such professional police work under duress is insulting to those with an anti police agenda. In addition if the officers had body cameras this whole situation would have never happened.
