New York Homicide Suspect Fatally Shot by Police in Western Mass.
- On Wednesday night, law enforcement fatally shot Brandon William Hampson, a 55-year-old homicide suspect, at the French King Restaurant & Motel on 129 French King Highway in Erving, Massachusetts.
- Authorities tracking a homicide suspect from Suffolk County, New York, located Hampson at the Erving motel after developing information he was in the area and his car was found outside.
- When confronted by officers, Hampson allegedly ignored verbal commands to drop a sharp object and charged toward them; officers discharged their firearms, striking the individual.
- Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early assumed oversight of the investigation after Hampson was pronounced dead at Baystate Franklin Medical Center in Greenfield to avoid perceived conflict of interest.
- Erving Police Chief Robert Holst joined officials on Thursday at the Erving Police Department to reassure the public that the town remains a safe place as the incident remains under investigation.
