A man was taken into custody in North Attleboro shortly after an officer-involved shooting in Mansfield. The shooting occurred yesterday around 3:42 PM near the Red Roof Inn at 60 Forbes Boulevard. Officers from a different jurisdiction first encountered the individual, suspected of drug-related activities, as reported by the Mansfield Police Department.

Before Mansfield Police Department's officers arrived on the scene, the suspect, who was driving a black BMW, allegedly tried to escape, which led to an officer firing a single shot at the suspect. The vehicle was found later, and the suspect was arrested in North Attleboro thereafter. According to the Mansfield Police Department's social media release, the area has been secured, and there is claimed to be no further danger to the public. However, details surrounding the shooting and subsequent arrest remain scarce as the investigation is ongoing.

The specifics of the arrest, including the identity of the individual and the exact circumstances that prompted the officer to discharge their weapon, remain under investigation. Authorities have not disclosed whether the suspect was harmed during the incident. The Bristol County District Attorney's Office will be handling any future press inquiries and has not provided any additional information at this time.

The Mansfield Police Department urges anyone with potentially relevant information to come forward as they work with the Bristol County DA's Office to unravel the day's events. For now, the community of Mansfield reconciles the disturbance of peace with the understanding that the layers of this incident will slowly be peeled back.
