By George P. Hassett Authorities have identified the woman suspected of stabbing three Somerville police officers before being shot and killed as Carol Lynn Kingsley, 33, of Somerville. In a statement released this afternoon from Middlesex District Attorney Gerard Leone's office, authorities said police were called to the Sycamore Terrace home after Kingsley set fire to her boyfriend's clothes |
When officers attempted to locate and question [Kingsley], she allegedly brandished at least one knife and attacked the three responding officers. Two of the officers suffered serious wounds; one officer suffered stab wounds to his back, shoulder and arm and the other suffered stab wounds to his back and arm. The third officer suffered wounds to his hand. It is [believed] at this time that one shot was fired by one of the responding officers, fatally striking [Kingsley]. The officers were transported to the hospital where they were treated for their injuries."
Authorities have determined that a 911 call was made earlier that morning, at approximately 3 a.m., by a neighbor who reported shouting coming from the residence. Officers responded to that call without incident.
Thank You to the Somerville police department, you all put your lives in harms ways.You do a great job , very proud resident.

Only a complete tard would think the proper responce to being stabbed is a taser. Three cops stabbed and you think they police over reacted. Must be nice to be an expert with tactical responses to deadly situations with so much training you must have received. Grow up michele

Michelle, ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? She was trying to seriously injure or kill three people and you say that shooting someone for that is unprofessional? You watch too much TV and need mental health care more than she did. The object is to LIVE first, be professional second.
