On Saturday, police in Lakeville, Massachusetts, shot a man on Heritage Hill Drive after responding to reports of an armed, disturbed person. Three people, including two officers, were hospitalized.
Lakeville Police Department officers arrived at the residence Saturday afternoon responding to a report of "a disturbed person who may be under the influence and armed with a firearm."
One resident stated, "I heard sirens, and I heard that there was something going on," while neighbors hid in basements. Officers rendered immediate aid to the man as multiple ambulances responded to the scene.
