According to local Boston outlets, "the armed suspect, later identified as 32-year-old Lmark Jaramillo of Roslindale, allegedly chased two people into the busy fast food restaurant and was trying to stab them" when the off-duty policeman shot and killed him after first trying to reason with him.
"My condolences and all of our thoughts are with the family of the individual whose life has been lost, and I'm also thinking of all the people who were impacted here today in one of the busier parts of the city with this tragedy," a clearly distraught Wu told reporters on the scene without praising the heroic actions of the off-duty officer.
Other so-called Boston leaders including their police commissioner took a similar approach:
“This is a pretty tragic incident,” Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox added. “We don’t look for loss of life so our condolences go to the individual who was killed tonight.”
Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden also offered his “thoughts and prayers” to the family of the attacker.
When DOJ Attorney General Pam Bondi caught wind of their remarks, she took to the Twitter/X machine on Monday and wrote this:
This DOJ will NEVER apologize for taking down dangerous criminals and getting them off our streets.
Thank you to the brave law enforcement officer in Boston who stepped up to protect those in need.
Politicians who want to apologize to criminals should not be in office!
See the difference now in Democrats and Republicans??? No, of course you dont.
The Cockroaches are mad because Elon turned the lights on.
