Shots Fired in Brockton Area During Dangerous Car Chase.

Brockton- A Suspect used a shotgun during an armed robbery on Pleasant Street today around 12p.m.  A car chase ensued in the area and came to a stop on Thatcher Street in Brockton.

Police fired on and shot the suspect near the landfill on Thatcher Street. The suspect was taken to the hospital by ambulance.

The chase went thru several towns and gunfire was reported thru-out the area during the car chase. The suspect allegedly fired out his window at police during the chase

Police from several departments including the State Police, Whitman Police and Brockton police pursued the subject to Route 18 south and the suspect continually fired shots out the window. The suspect made it back to Brockton via Route 18 and then to the landfill on Thatcher Street and still was exchanging gunfire with police before being shot and apprehended and taken to the hospital.

Different Drug Problem

Carpenter and Balzotti in November

It will be William Carpenter and Incumbent Mayor Balzotti this November for Brockton's Mayoral race. Carpenter got 3035 votes, while Balzotti gathered 3853.  Chris Macmillian recieved 1355 while Ron Matta got 455 votes.

It will be a close vote and Carpenter will need the voters from Macmillian and Matta's campaign if he is to win over Balzotti in November. This begs to ask are Anti-power plant opponents from the Macmillian and Matta camp ready to come over to the Carpenter camp. Neither candidate have endorsed anyone for mayor yet and with a turnout of just under 20% it will be unlikely to see a higher turn out in November with the average on a non-presidential  election year Brockton rarely ever turns out even 15%.

So in the next couple of weeks we will see what strategy Carpenter will use to gain the votes he needs to win over a strong Balzotti camp.

Ask the Magic Eight Ball for Brocktons Mayoral Race

Each election Brocktonbeat gets out the old Magic Eight Ball and asks the questions about who will win the 2013 primary for Mayor.

So until the next election. BrocktonBeat's Magic Eight Ball goes in the desk drawer.
