Overview
- Responding officers shot a man in his 60s after he allegedly pointed a loaded gun at them and a struggle to disarm him occurred in a parking lot near Temple Street.
- The Middlesex District Attorney’s Office has opened an official investigation and is reviewing body-worn camera recordings from all officers who responded.
- Officers at the scene were taken to area hospitals for checks and later released, and investigators have closed Temple Street with a large police presence.
- This is the second fatal officer-involved shooting by Cambridge police since January 2023, a history that led the department to roll out body cameras in April 2025 and that has heightened public scrutiny.
- What to watch next: investigators’ review of the footage, whether investigators release additional details or video, and any findings from the DA that could shape accountability or department policy.
