A gun-wielding career criminal opened fire at random cars driving down a Massachusetts roadway on Monday, leaving two men with life-threatening injuries before the maniac was shot by responding officers.<\/p>\n

Gunman Tyler Brown allegedly fired 50 to 60 rounds indiscriminately from an assault-style rifle as he erratically walked down Memorial Drive in Cambridge around 1:20 p.m.,\u00a0Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan said during a press conference.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

At 1:06 p.m., Cambridge police received a 911 call from Boston police, who said an individual acting erratically and in possession of a rifle was in Cambridge, Ryan said.<\/p>\n

Massachusetts State Police and Cambridge police arrived as Brown was actively firing down the road at stopped cars, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Two men were separately struck by gunfire as the madman unleashed the barrage of bullets. They were both rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, prosecutors added.<\/p>\n

A Massachusetts State Police trooper in his cruiser and a Marine licensed to carry a gun also arrived and found people jumping from their cars and scattering in search of safety.<\/p>\n

The pair heroically charged toward Brown with their weapons and shot him multiple times. He was treated on scene by officers and brought to a local hospital, where he is receiving care for gunshot wounds to his extremities.<\/p>\n
