Greenfield Police Chief Bradley Wentlandt said he doesn't know the total number of victims involved. Police said they did not believe there was a second shooter.
I said earlier, about 10:25 am, police dispatch received multiple 9/11 calls for a shooting. 20 year law enforcement veteran was the first person on the scene. He engaged an active shooter outside the temple. Multiple rounds were exchanged, officer was shot multiple times. He is in surgery, condition unknown. The shooter was also shot. He is down on the scene and presumed deceased. Tactical officers have made multiple runs through the facility. The best information we have now. Two individuals were transported from the scene for gunshot wounds. One being the officer, one being a civilian.
