SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — A man suspected of a barber shop shooting Saturday that left one person dead was tracked by police to his hiding place in the trunk of a car, opened fire on the officers when they popped the trunk and was wounded when the officers returned fire, police said.
A Massachusetts state trooper and a Springfield police officer were each shot in the chest but were wearing bullet-proof vests.
Police identified the suspect as Tamik J. Kirkland, 24, whom police had been looking for since his escape April 24 from a minimum security prison, where he was serving a sentence for weapons convictions.
