A Massachusetts prosecutor is disputing some assertions by police in the case of Bampumim Teixeira, the man accused of slitting the throats of two engaged Boston doctors in their penthouse.
Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley said at a Monday night press conference that Teixeira did not shoot at police, contradicting an earlier statement by Boston police that “the suspect immediately began firing at the officers, causing them to return fire.”
Teixeira sustained three gunshot wounds at the scene: in the leg, abdomen and hand. He is still in the hospital for non life-threatening injuries.
