A suspect is facing charges after a shootout with Massachusetts State Police troopers ended with two people seriously injured Monday afternoon.

A former Marine, as well as an arriving state trooper, were able to subdue Brown. He was treated at the scene and later taken to a Boston hospital.

Authorities say two men were struck by Brown’s gunfire and had life-threatening injuries. No word on their conditions.

Brown reportedly has a lengthy criminal history and was on probation at the time of the shooting, according to the Middlesex District Attorney.
