Massive manhunt launched after Millis officer reports shooting A rookie police officer in Millis who said Wednesday that someone shot his cruiser before it crashed and burst into flames fabricated the story, police said. The officer, 24, said he was traveling on Forest Road when he saw a red or maroon pickup truck traveling in the opposite direction. He said when the two vehicles met, the driver opened fire on the police cruiser, police say. "My cruiser's been shot at. I'm at Forest Road. It's going to be a dark maroon pickup," the officer radioed to dispatch at 2:17 p.m. The officer said he spun around, and in an attempt to avoid the gunfire and seek shelter, he slammed into a tree and the cruiser burst into flames. "We have determined that the officer's story was fabricated. Specifically, that he fired shots at his own cruiser as a plan to concoct a story that he was fired upon," Millis Police Sgt. William Dwyer said. "The evidence indicates the shots were not fired by a suspect, and there is no gunman at large in or around the town." A massive manhunt for the alleged gunman was launched. The neighborhood was immediately locked down while police units, including a SWAT team, K-9 officers and a Massachusetts State Police helicopter combed the area. Residents who were told to stay indoors or couldn't get home because of the lockdown said they were dumbfounded that the story may have been made up. "With all these police officers actually getting hurt in this world, why he is doing that I don't know," Nancy Haney said. Dwyer said the officer is new to the force and has not yet attended the police academy. He said the officer will be terminated, and his name will not be released until the investigation is complete. "I am very upset and don't know how to feel right now," Dwyer said. "The public is safe and should feel secure in their homes and the community." Earlier Wednesday morning, police said Millis Middle School received a call from someone who said a crime may occur in town at some point during the day, and about an hour later, someone called in a bomb threat. Emergency crews immediately responded and the building was secured. Investigators swept through the school, but no evidence of any device was found in the school. Police said at the time that they didn't believe the two incidents were related, but out of an abundance of caution, schools in Millis were closed. "I am very angry that it ruined (students') first day of school," Theresa Mahoney said. "It stressed me out completely. My husband and I both missed time from work." John Thurston, a retired firefighter, followed the manhunt and lockdown by listening to his police scanners. "Everyone is getting shot who is wearing a badge, and here is a guy shooting himself and blowing up his car," he said. "I couldn't believe it."

String that officer up by his nut sac... then after a constitutional trial by peer, execute him. Why feed him? Good job LE admin for conducting a complete investigation. I realize that you probably didn't want to have a few weeks off without pay for falling asleep while driving.... but did you really have to concoct such a grand story at the expense of your community, the department and toll on every officer that worked to help find the bullshit you falsely reported? I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Interesting thought. I just assumed he was looking for publicity or attention. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
Your assumption could be as accurate as mine... I just assume my theory by odds. I've seen many times where an officer has claimed they've damaged their patrol car due to a phantom car chase or a mysterious animal that entered the road and caused the cruiser to veer off the road... But, Hell yeah, I can see at least one bad apple dreaming up 15 hours of fame in that hour of patrol boredness. The officer should have known that investigators were gonna check his duty weapon for being freshly fired. What a tool I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Now that I think about it, I think you might be right. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
This Cop Was Suspended for Beating Multiple People, 7 years and $600K Later He’s Still on Vacation In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much WTF does a 2008 case in Toronto CANADA have to do with anything? Look harder, you might find a corrupt Vietnamese LEO that killed a few cats for a snack between issuing parking tickets for rickshaw's and taking bribe money from round-eye vacationers.

For one thing it shows that Canadian police departments are just as corrupt as those here, and that cops always get off easier than a serf would for committing the same crime. Also, what other profession continues to pay your salary after you have been convicted of a felony? In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Politicians Welfare recipients (that's an actual profession now, being a professional lazy shitbird) Drug addicts who can't be fired because "they have a problem"... you know, your hero's. Professional athletes Highway personnel Even school teachers and firefighters get paid pending termination for YEARS AND YEARS... the problem isn't just with LE. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
