Was built on the location of the old fields corner station and is leased by the MBTA. I'm guessing the MBTA doesn't even know it owns the property and leases it to a gun range.

That's the MBTA police's home range and has been in operation since 1976. It was the home of Massachusetts branch of the Italian American Police Association for many years. Brookline PD, Sheriffs Departments, Homeland Security, armored car companies, private security, and the U.S. Coast Guard all regularly use that facility. I think this is the first potential suicide there in nearly 50 years of operation.

Quite a few Boston as well as State cops train here, as do numerous MBTA police. In fact, it's their designated training center. You should probably do some research before making claims like this.

Wrong... BPD trains at Moon Island along with Saties and University police officer's but are not scheduled together

That’s the MBTA police’s training facility. They don’t share Moon Island with Boston PD.

So if the training facility is run by the Transit Police why aren't they investigating the tragic incident that happened yesterday? By the way the transit police use the Hanson gun range to train their officers.

In addition to what others have said, SWAT trains there on a regular basis as well.

That's very sad. Prayers for this person and their family.
