Overview
- The Berkshire district attorney’s office says the civilian died at Berkshire Medical Center and has not been publicly identified at the family’s request.
- A Hinsdale police chief and a sergeant were shot during the struggle; the chief was treated and released the same day, and the sergeant was transferred to Albany Medical Center with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
- The investigation remains active, and District Attorney Timothy J. Shugrue scheduled a press conference for Friday at noon in Pittsfield to provide updates.
- Officials outlined a timeline starting with the man’s Tuesday call to the FBI reporting paranoid delusions, followed by Dalton police being unable to locate him.
- On Wednesday, after the man’s 16-minute 911 call, five officers responded; following about 30 minutes of negotiation, police breached the door, a struggle ensued, a stun gun was used twice, the civilian fired striking the sergeant’s hand and the chief’s vest, an officer’s rounds wounded the sergeant by friendly fire, and the civilian was shot in the head.
