Cohasset Police
A shelter-in-place order was issued for part of an eastern Massachusetts town on Sunday afternoon after authorities said a man took a chainsaw to the local police station before fleeing and barricading himself in his home with his two children.
Chief Bill Quigley said that the unidentified suspect had arrived at the Cohasset Police Station around 2:30 p.m. Sunday, and unsuccessfully attempted to cut through a security door with a gas chainsaw. He said that the civilian clerk on duty at the time had barricaded herself and was able to hit a button summoning officers to the front desk.
She was unharmed but shaken up.
