A suspect in a Long Island homicide investigation was fatally shot by police at an Erving, Massachusetts, hotel Wednesday.<\/p>\n
According to Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early Jr., police from Suffolk County in New York investigating the homicide had determined 55-year-old Brandon William Hampson may have been in the Massachusetts town. His vehicle was then located outside the French King Motel and Restaurant.<\/p>\n
Massachusetts State Police and members of the Northwestern District Anti-Crime Task Force responded to the motel Wednesday. Early says Hampson charged at officers while holding a sharp object after multiple requests to drop the weapon. Police then shot Hampson, who was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
The Worcester County DA’s Office is leading the ongoing investigation rather than state police or the Northwestern District Attorney’s Office “to avoid any perceived conflict of interest.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A suspect in a Long Island homicide investigation was fatally shot by police at an Erving, Massachusetts, hotel…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":343754,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-343753","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343753","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=343753"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343753\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/343754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=343753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=343753"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=343753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
