A very public suicide

Karen O'Grady reports:

Last night I went downstairs to wait for someone from freecycle to come and get some heavy duty cardboard, set of drawers (two sets brand new still in plastic). I noticed a state police car (SPC) out front with it's lights going. As I got closer I noticed another and then another. I went outside to take a look and they were blocking the street directly in front of my apartment. I went down the drive and looked beyond the pool and there was yet another SPC just after our back driveway!

One neighbor reported that her daughter heard someone yelling, "Watch out he's got a gun!" ...

The Suffolk County District Attorney's office says that the man, a 25-year-old from Mattapan, led Revere and State Police on a chase to Blue Line tracks near the Beachmont Blue Line station after the car he was in was stopped on Rte. 16. On the tracks, surrounded by police, he put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger.
