After a day-long manhunt for a suspect who had reportedly fired shots at a Millis police cruiser, causing it to crash and catch fire, police said Thursday they have found the person responsible: the officer who reported the shooting.
The officer, who police have not yet named, has been fired and is expected to be charged, Millis Police Sgt. William Dwyer said.
“I still am very upset and don’t know how to feel right now,” Dwyer said at a Thursday press conference.

Massachusetts State Police and several local police departments are investigating shots fired into a Millis Police Department cruiser at approximately 3 p.m. on Forest Road in that town. The cruiser was struck by gunfire, then crashed and caught on fire.
State Police are not aware of any injuries at this time. If that changes we will update this post.
Preliminary investigation indicates the shots were fired from a dark colored — possibly maroon — pickup truck. The suspect vehicle fled the scene after the shooting. Preliminary reports describe the suspect as a white male.
State Police patrols from Troops H and C have responded to assist in the search for the suspect, as has a helicopter from our Air Wing. Additionally, State Police detectives, K9 units, crime scene technicians, ballistics technicians, and fire investigators are en route to the scene to assist.
No further information is available at this time.

In the words of former Governor Rick Perry of Texas, “oops.” The second MSH public meeting is on 9/16, not 9/13 as I posted earlier. Thank you Megan Sullivan for noticing.
In my defense, I just copied the MSH-MPC notice from my CAMEO email. If anyone reading this is connected to the Medfield Cultural Alliance, please change the date on your website.
And if you are not getting the CAMEO emails from the Medfield Cultural Alliance, you should sign up for them here, as they are great.

The third survey from the Medfield State Hospital Master Planning Committee is open through this Thursday at midnight. This survey focuses our attention and seeks our input on four possible areas of reuse.
There were only 244 responses when i answered the survey this afternoon.
This is Bill Massaro’s emailed description of survey #3:
Survey #3 on what you would like to see done with the Hospital property is now open through midnight on Thursday Sep 3.. Here’s the link:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MedStateSurvey_3
Where Survey# 2 asked for your opinion on the top “Dream” reuse alternatives from Survey #1–Recreation, Sports, Park, Open Space, Senior/Young Adult/Starter Family Homes—this new survey asks residents to rate opinion statements on some of Survey#1’s less common “Dream” suggestion alternatives:
In addition to asking your opinion on these alternative uses, the Committee is hoping that Survey 3 will get you thinking about other potential opportunities and they would welcome receiving any contact information for institutions or businesses, in any category, that you would like to see there.
Please take this follow-up survey before midnight on Sep 3 and forward the link to your friends and neighbors…
Also, please mark your calendar for the second Public Information Meeting which will be held at the High School on Wed evening Sep 16.

While jogging this morning I bumped into DPW Foreman Bobby Kennedy, Jr. at the MSH (DPW was boarding up doorway entrances with cement blocks) and I asked about the status of their work on Green Street. He said he is waiting on asphalt from Aggregate Industries, and that Aggregate Industries has promised him the asphalt he needs by mid-September. He said he does not want to rip up the old asphalt that needs replacement until he knows he has the new asphalt available to put down, so residents will have a dirt road for as short a period as possible.
He also opined that the road is so old that it may need proper gravel installed, explaining that lots of the old roads in town were cart paths on which asphalt was spread. He mentioned finding a horse shoe during the work on Green Street.
I asked specifically about Hartford Street as well, and Bobby opined that too was probably not well prepared, given its age. I asked about the effects of the higher water table resulting from the beaver activity on The Trustees of the Reservation (TTOR) Fork Factory Brook property, and Bobby opined that a higher water table could adversely impact Hartford Street where it is unlikely that there is sufficient gravel under the pavement on Hartford Street. I will share that information and make that point to the TTOR when their representative, Mike Francis, comes to speak with the selectmen about the beaver situation this month.

Medfield Select Board member
I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield select board member. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.
For information on my other job as an attorney (personal injury, civil litigation, estate planning and administration, and real estate), please feel free to contact me at 617-969-1500 or Osler.Peterson@OslerPeterson.com.
