AUBURN, Mass. (AP) — The suspect in the fatal shooting of a Massachusetts police officer died after an exchange of gunfire Sunday as authorities closed in on him inside an apartment in nearby Oxford, police said.
The man, identified as 35-year-old Jorge Zambrano, burst out of a closet and opened fire on the officers as they approached him inside the apartment, Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. said at a news briefing Sunday evening. Zambrano, who authorities said had a criminal history, was taken to a hospital, where he died.
