4 officers, a corporal and 3 constables, say that on Sunday, December 9th, they went through an alley near Mayflower Street, responding to reports of shots being fired. The cops say that they saw a man running away from them, and they pursued him. He temporarily gave them the slip, but according to the cops, this same man emerged a short while later, and he had a weapon in his hand. The cops say that this man fired 4 shots at them. All missed. They returned fire, and again, this assailant was able to evade them.

They later apprehended him, and he was identified as Kyle Chaplin, who was wanted in connection with an investigation into an incident from the day before. He was charged with 4 counts of aggravated assault, and he was arraigned today before Magistrate Albert Hoare.
