Much gratitude to the men and women of the Cranston Police Department for their heroic efforts in response to the unfortunate events that occurred yesterday, Wednesday, May 24th.
A tragic incident started with a shooting in Johnston early Wednesday morning which resulted in the death of two victims, and injury to a third victim. The suspect was later found in Cranston. A pursuit then ensued involving Cranston police.
Thanks to the heroic actions of those responding, our officers were able to neutralize the threat when the suspect was fatally shot by law enforcement in reaction to a weapon being brandished at them by the suspect. The manner in which the response was conducted is a reflection of our officers’ training, professionalism and discipline.
Please join me in acknowledging the bravery of the officers who responded yesterday. Too often, we take for granted the protection and safety we are provided in our daily lives by our law enforcement.
My admiration and the city’s gratitude goes to the heroes of our Cranston Police Department who put our safety before their own.
Cranston Mayor Kenneth J. Hopkins
