The suspect, who was shot multiple times and is now in the hospital, has been identified as 46-year-old Tyler Brown.

A heroic Marine veteran is being credited with jumping into action to help law enforcement take down Brown.

CBS News reported further on the incident:

A gunman who opened fire at cars on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts Monday afternoon was shot by a responding State Police trooper and a civilian. Two men in separate cars were shot and have life-threatening injuries.

The suspect, 46-year-old Tyler Brown, is in custody and is being treated for gunshot wounds at a hospital.

It happened around 1:30 p.m. near the intersection of River Street. Videos from witnesses show the gunman walking down the middle of the street firing and waving a rifle.

According to I-Team sources, a photo of Brown was included in an officer safety bulletin that went out Monday morning. At about 12:30, police officers attempted to do a wellbeing check at his home in Dorchester after his parole officer reported to police that he made a suicidal statement.

Shortly after 1 p.m., Cambridge Police received a 911 call from Boston Police about Brown, who was believed to be in possession of a rifle.

Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said when officers responded to the area, “it was already an active shooter situation.”

Brown was walking down the middle of Memorial Drive, firing the rifle in “an erratic fashion at various vehicles along the road,” Ryan said.

Ryan said 50-60 rounds were fired and at least a dozen vehicles were struck by gunfire. Two men in separate vehicles were shot and are currently being treated for life-threatening injuries.

As people were scattering from their cars, Ryan said a State Police trooper and a civilian, a former Marine who has a license to carry a firearm, went towards the suspect with their weapons.

“Both the trooper and the civilian fired their weapons, and that suspect was struck multiple times in the extremities,” Ryan said. Troopers provided first aid to Brown and the two victims who were struck before they were taken to the hospital. Ryan said the trooper’s cruiser was also struck by gunfire.

Brown is facing several charges including two counts of armed assault with intent to murder. It is unclear when he will be arraigned.

This isn’t Brown’s first run-in with the law.

He actually should have been in jail right now for trying to kill a police officer, but a left-wing activist judge let him out early.

This local news clip dove deeper into Brown’s criminal record:

THESE JUDGES MUST GO!

WAY too many innocent Americans lose their lives because of these judges REFUSING to protect the public from vioIent criminals

In 2020, Brown pleaded guilty to EIGHT charges, including armed assault with intent to murder, after he fired THIRTEEN ROUNDS.

He was supposed to serve at LEAST a decade in prison, but the judge let him out after just three years.

And now he’s back trying to murder people.

START HOLDING THESE JUDGES ACCOUNTABLE!

It’s sad how these woke judges keep prioritizing violent criminals over the safety of law-abiding citizens.

Take a look at some of these responses from patriots on X:

Seriously ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Stop letting criminals back into the streets. We don’t have to live like this anymore.

Absolutely NOTHING will ever change until these inept judges are held accountable for their total disregard for the public safety!

I can’t imagine how hard it is being a cop in cities like this. They risk their lives every single day just for woke DAs and judges to put the worst back on the streets. I think I’d have leave for a place that cares more about its LEOs and citizens!!

This time, Brown better be locked up for a very long time!
