According to I-Team sources, the officers were wearing body armor and at least two were shot in the legs.

Officers responded to Ferndale Street for a 911 call around 9:30 a.m., said Acting Boston Police Commissioner Gregory Long. It was reported that a person with a gun had threatened people within a home.

A number of officers and SWAT trucks responded. The neighborhood was blocked off.

The negotiations went on for five-to-six hours, Long said.

“At some point this afternoon during those negotiations, the individual fired at the officers striking three officers on scene. As a result of being fired upon, officers on scene returned fire striking the suspect. The suspect suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced on scene,” said Long. “They were still speaking with the individual and unexpectedly he just fired upon the officers.”

The officers were inside the building when they were shot.

Sources said the suspect had a long criminal record.

Boston Mayor-Elect Michelle Wu tweeted that she has been updated on the situation.

I have been briefed about the tragic incident unfolding in Dorchester & will be monitoring the situation closely.

My prayers are with the injured officers, their loved ones & those in our community who have had to face violence & trauma in our neighborhoods in the past week.

The injured officers were taken to Boston Medical Center. Cruisers and officers lined the sidewalk outside the emergency department.

“In the last three days, we’ve had multiple Boston police officers stabbed and shot by individuals. 911 calls, they responded to those calls. So just remember it is a very hard job to be a police officer,” said Suffolk District Attorney Rachael Rollins, who spoke from the scene while being heckled by someone standing nearby.

She said she was able to sit with the injured officers at the hospital. “They were grateful I believe, but many of them feel like they are not being appreciated, quite frankly.”
