Man who shot 2 officers, killedBOSTON — A man wearing body armor and armed with an assault rifle shot two Boston police officers who were responding to a report of a domestic disturbance, before being shot and killed by other officers, police said.The wounded officers were in “extremely critical condition” but out of surgery and with their families this morning, Police Commissioner William Evans said.“Domestic calls, as you know, are probably the most volatile. You never really know what you’re walking into,” Evans said.The suspect was identified as Kirk Figueroa, 33, of East Boston.Evans said Figueroa fired at the officers late Wednesday night shortly after they arrived at a home in the city’s East Boston neighborhood. Several other officers who were stationed outside ran inside and exchanged gunfire with the suspect.The officers shot and killed the suspect and then began administering first aid to the wounded officers, one a 28-year veteran, the other a 12-year veteran of the force.Both officers were taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where they were being treated for serious injuries. Nine other officers were being treated at Tufts Medical Center for trauma, stress and minor injuries.Police did not release the names of the wounded officers.As is standard protocol following such events, the district attorney’s office said there would be an investigation into the use of deadly force.
