Massachusetts State Police and Taunton Police are on scene at the Galleria Mall in Taunton and a related scene at a home on Myrick Street in Taunton where multiple people have been stabbed by an assailant. Two stabbings occurred at the mall after the assailant crashed a motor vehicle into the front of a store. The other two stabbings appear to have been committed in the Myrick Street home. It is possible that the assailant was involved in an earlier motor vehicle crash on Myrick Street prior to the stabbings there.

Preliminary investigation indicates the assailant was shot at the mall by an off-duty law enforcement officer.

At this point none of the victims are deceased although some injuries may be life-threatening. All were transported to area hospitals.

The incident occurred shortly after 7 pm. Numerous patrols and investigative and specialized units of state and local police are at the crime scenes. The flow of information is fluid at this time.
