HINSDALE, Mass. — Two police officers were injured and a civilian is in critical condition after a shooting late Wednesday morning not far from the police station. 

 

The civilian was taken to Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield; the officers sustained non-life-threatening injuries from what police describe as an isolated incident that poses no threat to the public. 

 

The Cheshire Police Department indicated the injured officers were Police Chief Shawn Boyne and Sgt. Dom Crupi in a post on Facebook stating "Our thoughts are with the Chief and Sergeant from Hinsdale and hoping for a speedy recovery."

 

The investigation is being led by the State Police assigned to the Berkshire District Attorney's Office, which, in a press release just after 2 p.m., reported that around 11 a.m., an "isolated incident involving an officer-involved shooting occurred in Hinsdale, Massachusetts." 

 

"Two police officers were shot and sustained nonlife threatening injuries. One civilian was shot and is in critical condition," the DA's office wrote.  "There is no threat to public safety."

 

The office will provide updates as additional information becomes available.
