Democratic Boston councilor rips 'soft-on-crime' policies after suspected gunman's violent past revealed

A Democratic Boston city councilor slammed what he views as "soft-on-crime" policies that allowed the man who allegedly opened fire in nearby Cambridge on Monday to walk free after previously serving a short amount of time for violent offenses.

Tyler Brown, 46, is in custody after allegedly firing 50 to 60 rounds into traffic on Memorial Drive in Cambridge early in the afternoon on Monday. Terrifying video of the incident, which left four people shot, including Brown, quickly went viral.
