       A suspected gunman was killed by police Saturday afternoon in Winthrop, Massachusetts after he allegedly crashed a stolen semi-truck into a building, shot and killed two bystanders, then was gunned down by responding officers, Massachusetts State Police told WFXT, the Fox-affiliated TV station in Boston.

       People who live near the scene told WBZ-TV that a man leveled a brick building with a truck and gunshots were heard as he ran away from the crash.

       Two bystanders, a male and a female, were shot and killed after the crash.

       "We are investigating whether the male may have been trying to engage the suspect to end the threat. The female and male are both deceased," Massachusetts State Police told WFXT.

       "Winthrop Police arrived on scene within moments and shot the suspect. The suspect also is deceased."

       One police officer was also taken to a hospital but was not seriously injured.
