Armed Citizen Played Key Role in Stopping Cambridge Shooter

By Dave Workman
A legally armed private citizen, described by the media as a Marine Corps veteran, played a key role in stopping a shooting rampage Monday in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The actions of the unidentified armed citizen are being hailed by a leading gun rights organization. The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is applauding the armed citizen’s actions.

According to various news agencies, including WCVB, the suspect in this case is identified as 46-year-old Tyler Brown of Boston. There is no known motive for the rampage. Two shooting victims were taken to a local hospital with life-threatening wounds, according to reports.

The shooting erupted at about 1 p.m. Monday along a busy Cambridge street, where the suspect unleashed a volley of rounds at passing motorists. He was armed with what is described as an “assault-style weapon,” which, as a convicted felon who is reportedly on supervised probation, he could not legally possess.

WHDH News is reporting that the suspect served time in prison for having opened fire at a Boston police officer in 2020. In 2021, Brown was sentenced to six years in state prison followed by three years of probation.

When the shooting started Monday, at least two people were seriously wounded. Reports say between 50 and 60 rounds were fired before the armed citizen and a state trooper returned fire, bringing the suspect down. The incident was captured on video.

Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan told reporters that the suspect was hit several times as the trooper and armed citizen both returned fire.

BZ to the Marine for stepping up. I’m sure the State Po-Po was happy his Massachusetts-required credentials allowed him to assist in halting the crime.
