Tyler Brown Charged in Cambridge Shootout After 50-60 Rounds Injure 2

Two men suffered life-threatening injuries after prosecutors said Tyler Brown, 46, fired 50 to 60 rounds from an assault-style rifle into Memorial Drive traffic in Cambridge.
State police said the scene had become an active-shooter situation by the time troopers arrived; a former Marine and an arriving trooper subdued Brown, who was struck multiple times and remains hospitalized in custody.
Brown faces charges including two counts of armed assault with intent to murder, and District Attorney Marian Ryan said he was on probation and had no known connection to the victims.
Ryan said the rifle had enough range to hit people across the Charles River and renewed her push to refile a bill creating a charge for reckless gunfire that endangers others.
Could better parole technology and support have prevented the Cambridge shootout?
With Massachusetts's strict new gun law, how did a parolee obtain a rifle?
