A pro-Israel demonstrator accused of shooting and wounding a man who tackled him in a Boston-area city was arraigned in court Friday, and the injured man could also be charged, authorities said.
Scott Hayes, 47, from Framingham, was arrested and accused of shooting the man who allegedly tackled him.
The man who was shot was walking on the other side of the street and “began shouting comments at the demonstrators,” police said Friday.
“Ultimately that individual came very rapidly across the street and tackled one of the demonstrators.”“An altercation followed during which Hayes allegedly shot the Newton man,” police said.
Asked at a news conference Thursday if the man shot was anti-Israel or pro-Palestinian, Ryan said, “I think it’s too soon to get into that.”The shooting remains under investigation.
