A woman who fled danger while a Marine veteran confronted an armed gunman in cambridge,massachusetts,said the veteran \u201csaved lives\u201d and helped her escape. She told reporters that he opened her car door, pulled her out, and instructed her to run, and she later saw him firing at Tyson Brown as she took refuge elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Authorities said Brown, a 46-year-old man with a lengthy criminal record<\/a>, allegedly fired at least 60 rounds Monday on Memorial Drive while behaving erratically. Cambridge Police received a warning from the Boston Police Department about a rifle-wielding, problematic person around 1:00 p.m. EDT. The incident left two men seriously wounded.<\/p>\n

The veteran had been credited by witnesses with helping trapped drivers get away during the exchange. Brown previously faced charges after firing multiple rounds<\/a> at police officers in 2020 and later pled guilty to armed assault and related offenses; prosecutors sought a longer prison term than the sentence he received. <\/p>\n
