Sleeping Man Grazed by Bullet During Police Shootout with Suspect in Brockton, Massachusetts

Authorities are investigating an overnight officer-involved shooting in Brockton that left one person with non-life-threatening injuries, with over ten evidence markers placed at the scene.

  • Early Sunday, a 44-year-old suspect exchanged gunfire with two Brockton police officers after a pursuit ended in a crash at the intersection of Moraine and Spring streets, injuring both the suspect and a nearby resident.
  • Officers attempted to stop a 2025 white Lexus shortly after 2 a.m. because it was wanted in an "ongoing gunshots investigation" from earlier in the week, but the vehicle spun out, prompting the driver to exit and fire at police.
  • Inside his Moraine Street home, a 71-year-old resident was grazed in the arm by a stray bullet while sleeping; his family member told NewsCenter, "Even in the house, people are not safe," after he was taken to Boston Medical Center.
  • Detectives placed more than ten evidence markers across the scene after recovering a handgun with an obliterated serial number at a home on Moraine Street, as the Plymouth County District Attorney leads the investigation into the officer-involved shooting.
  • The suspect remains in police custody at Boston Medical Center with a shoulder wound, while Brockton police officers involved in the incident were evaluated and confirmed to have sustained no injuries as the investigation remains active.
