Revere Officer Dies After Shooting

REVERE (WBZ) ― A Revere police officer shot in an early morning shooting over the weekend has died.

Officer Daniel Talbot, 30, was shot in the head sometime around 2 a.m. on Saturday in the rear parking lot of Revere High School.

Authorities were not saying why he was there at that hour. "Because of the very sensitive nature of this investigation, and because it remains extremely active at this time, we cannot discuss the details and findings that we have reached at this point," Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley told a news conference.

The high school was cordoned off and investigators scoured the area Saturday searching for evidence.

Conley said Talbot was a five-year veteran of the force and was assigned to the gang unit. "I'm told he has a reputation as a hard working, courageous officer who distinguished himself during his career as a police officer," Conley said. "He has our prayers this evening as does his fiancé, his family and his fellow officers."

Police said they were investigating a broad range of evidence. Detectives are looking into whether a police weapon was involved in the shooting. So far, no arrests have been made.

Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to contact State Police detectives at 617-727-8817.
