Officers wounded in East Boston shooting to undergo more surgeries
Two Boston police officers wounded in a gunfight inside an East Boston home are set to undergo another round of surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital Friday.
Boston Police Commissioner William B. Evans visited Officers Richard Cintolo and Matthew Morris at the Boston hospital where they were rushed after being shot in a confrontation with Kirk P. Figueroa who was armed with a tactical shotgun and handgun.
“The outstanding staff at MGH continue to help our officers during this difficult time. I can’t thank them enough,’’ Evans said in a statement posted at @bostonpolice. “I want to thank everyone for their continued prayers – I hope St. Michael continues to look down upon my officers.’’
St. Michael is the patron saint of police officers.
