A man named Tyler Brown opened fire on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Mass., this week, turning an ordinary Monday afternoon into a rolling ambush near Harvard and MIT.

Middlesex DA Marian Ryan said Brown, a 46-year-old Boston man (notice no doctor was needed to identify Brown as a man), fired roughly 50 to 60 rounds from a rifle at vehicles on the roadway. Cambridge Policedescribed the confrontation on their website.

Shortly after 1:00 p.m. Cambridge Police received a call from Boston Police reporting that a person, later identified as the person involved in today’s shooting, might be in Cambridge and that he had been observed to be acting erratically. Boston Police also relayed that the suspect was believed to be in possession of a rifle.

Cambridge Police and Massachusetts State Police began a response to the area of Memorial Drive. When Massachusetts State Police arrived, they saw an active shooter situation. The suspect was on foot walking east in the roadway, allegedly in possession of an assault-style rifle, which he was actively firing in an erratic fashion at vehicles in the roadway.

The suspect allegedly shot two male victims who were inside separate cars before being confronted by a Massachusetts State Police Trooper and a civilian, who was in legal possession of a firearm. After being confronted, the suspect allegedly continued to fire the weapon striking the State Police Cruiser. Both the civilian and the Trooper fired their weapons and the suspect was struck multiple times in the extremities.

Two drivers suffered life-threatening injuries, more than a dozen vehicles were hit, and a Massachusetts State Police cruiser also took gunfire during the attack.

Brown didn’t appear from thin air; his criminal record included a 2020 shootout with Boston police, and he had pleaded guilty to charges tied to armed assault with intent to murder. He was reportedly out on probation when the Cambridge shooting unfolded.

Authorities also had reason to worry about his behavior before the bullets started flying, which makes the usual lectures about more rules and laws feel especially hollow.

A Massachusetts State trooper responded to the attack.
