Four Dead After Family Dispute

"CAMBRIDGE, MA — A retired Bedford cop shot and killed three people in his Cambridge home last night and later turned the gun on himself, according to authorities, in what prosecutors called a horrifying end to a simmering family dispute.

"`This is another horrific example of domestic violence,` Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone said at a press conference last night. `We know there were disputes leading up to this—nothing leading anyone to believe anything of this magnitude would occur.`

"Leone announced a manhunt for John `Jack` Brosnahan, 67, but a short time later, about 10 p.m., authorities found a car matching the 2011 Toyota Camry he was driving parked at a boathouse on Soldiers Field Road in Brighton. Police recovered a body found in the Charles River late last night that the district attorney’s office identified as Brosnahan.

"Leone declined to identify the three people found dead in Brosnahan’s Grove Street home, but he said all were adults."
