A convicted felon on parole for firing a gun at police was involved in a daylight shooting that took place along Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Monday.
Tyler Brown opened fire on the street at about 1:30 p.m., according toWFXT-TV.
A Massachusetts State Police trooper and an armed civilian brought down Brown, officials said. The gunman was hospitalized and is in intensive care, according toWBTS-TV.
Two victims sitting in their cars were hit in the initial round of shots and suffered life-threatening injuries, according toWCVB-TV. Brown fired an estimated 50 to 60 shots seemingly at random before he was stopped.
Witness Joseph Minino Rodriguez said the shooter “just straight up gets into a gunfight with the cops.”

Brown, 46, pleaded guilty in 2021 to charges that included armed assault with intent to murder and attempted assault and battery by means of discharging a firearm after firing 13 shots at police in a May 2020 incident.
At that time, Brown was on probation after being convicted in 2014 for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and witness intimidation.
