Massachusetts State Police have been searching the area near Rte. 140 in Mansfield near the Foxboro line, for a suspect who fired a gunshot, possibly from a muzzleloader rifle, at an MSP cruiser overnight.
The cruiser was being operated on Rte. 140 around 2:20 a.m. when the trooper reported a shot fired at him. A subsequent search of the area off the highway led to the discovery of a black powder rifle. Muzzleloader — or black powder — guns are often sold for hunting.
The suspect is believed to have run away from the scene after firing the shot.
The trooper was not injured and no damage has been reported.
The search is being conducted by troopers from Troop H and State Police K-9 units with assistance from local police. The State Police Air Wing also responded.

Here we go folks , next it’s black powder guns need to be registered too ( they don’t need to at least in my state)
And if you have a BP gun or rifle your now a cop threat
yeah, any excuse will do. Any attack on a type of gun, or type of gun owner will help them whittle down the numbers a little more.
It’s a futile attempt on their part, but they have to show the Rothschilds that they’re working toward the goal.
Perhaps it was a statement of 1776, firing at ‘the Redcoats’?
So the trooper wasn’t harmed, and there was no damage.
So there’s no evidence of him actually being shot at, other than being the proximity of someone discharging a gun.
Masshole cops sure have a funny way of making themselves out to be potential assassination targets.
“… the trooper reported a loud noise that came from behind the cruiser as he was approaching a traffic signal. The Trooper saw a large amount of white smoke in the vicinity of the are from where he heard this noise, just several feet from the cruiser.”
EXCUSE ME???
Someone (allegedly) fired at a pig ride from “JUST SEVERAL FEET” AWAY, AND MISSED?????
“The trooper was not injured and no damage has been reported.”
Apparently.
My bullsh#t meter’s off the scale on this one.
“The Trooper saw a large amount of white smoke in the vicinity of the are from where he heard this noise, just several feet from the cruiser.”
If THAT much is even true (HIGHLY doubtful), then it was leftover fireworks from the 4th. That would explain this…
“The Trooper reversed direction and observed a white male wearing light colored clothing in the wood line. The person stood up and ran into the woods.”
Regardless, still calling b.s. on the whole thing.
