Marando managed to put the suspect in a headlock, then discovered his left ankle “hanging in a 45-degree angle caused by broken bones sustained in this attack,” police said. Despite excruciating pain, Marando managed to hold on to the suspect until backup arrived, police said.
Yesterday, Marando and two other officers were responding to a 911 call from a woman reporting that her boyfriend, Tyrone Cummings, 25, had assaulted her and was threatening to kill her, the commissioner said.
When the officers arrived, Cummings was outside with a woman believed to be the victim’s sister and allegedly opened fire on them, hitting Marando, Davis said. Marando and another officer, whose name was not released, fired back, hitting Cummings “multiple times,” Davis said.
The suspect was taken to Boston Medical Center, where he was in stable condition, police said. The woman was shot in the leg and taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, police said. She was also in stable condition.
Police and the Suffolk District Attorney’s Office are investigating the shooting, including who shot the woman, Davis said. One of the shots also hit the nearby Emily A. Fifield Elementary School, he said, but it was closed at the time.
Cummings is known to police and is expected to be arraigned from his hospital bed today on charges of assault with intent to murder and weapons charges, police said. Two guns and a bag of ammunition were found on him outside the triple-decker, where police had been called previously, Davis said.
“We know he brought two illegal firearms and a bag full of bullets,” District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said. “The officers appear to have acted in self-defense. There is no question Mr. Cummings initiated (the) gunfight.”
