On May 11, Tyler Brown, 46, fired more than 50 rounds of ammunition on Memorial Drive, injuring two people. Swenson, a Marine Corps veteran, warned civilians of an ongoing shooting and used the firearm he was licensed to carry to help State Police stop the shooter, officials said.
“On this 25th anniversary, we remember the lives taken from us on September 11 and the extraordinary courage of people who stepped forward when others needed them most,” Governor Maura Healey said in a statement. “TJ Swenson showed that same kind of leadership on Memorial Drive. In a terrifying and rapidly unfolding situation, he put himself at risk and helped protect the people around him until first responders arrived.”
