Overview
- The Suffolk County district attorney's office, which named Jacob Graves, 29, on Tuesday, said the Saturday shooting near Northeastern University remains under investigation.
- Police say Graves called 911 reporting people with guns, and officers then spoke with him through his Hemenway Street apartment door before requesting Boston EMS and a clinician.
- After 35 to 45 minutes of talks, officials say Graves opened the door with a sword-like weapon, stabbed an officer in the arm, and knocked the clinician to the ground.
- Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox said officers used a Taser and then fired their guns, EMS treated Graves at the scene, and he later died at a hospital.
- Officials reported non-life-threatening injuries to the stabbed officer and several EMS clinicians, and the incident has renewed questions about Boston's BEST and Alternative Response Model that pair clinicians with first responders.
