Tyler Brown, Accused Gunman in Cambridge Shooting, Arraigned From Hospital Bed
Prosecutors said Tyler Brown fired 50 to 60 rounds from an assault-style weapon and wounded two drivers before a judge ordered him held.
- On Monday, Tyler Brown opened fire on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, injuring two people before being shot by law enforcement, and was ordered held without bail on Thursday.
- Three days before the incident, Brown had been released from a psychiatric hospital, then FaceTimed his parole officer waving an assault rifle, shouting he would not "go back to jail."
- Brown fired roughly 60 rounds erratically, hitting at least a dozen vehicles, according to prosecutors, until a state police trooper and a former Marine licensed to carry a firearm stopped him.
- During his Thursday arraignment via Zoom, Brown entered a not guilty plea to charges including armed assault with intent to murder; one victim was released from the hospital, while another remains hospitalized.
- Local officials questioned how Brown, who had prior gun-related convictions, remained free, prompting broader concerns about judicial accountability, as Judge David Frank scheduled the next hearing for May 21.
