HAMPSTEAD — Two police officers who shot an armed man outside an Oldham Road home March 18 have been identified.
Hampstead Deputy Chief Adam Dyer and Detective Alan Randell fired at Robert Boulter, 51, after the man pointed a rifle at police outside the residence at 42 Oldham Road.
Attorney General John Formella provided the update in a press release Monday.
Boulter sustained injuries that were not life threatening, Formella added. He was transported to a local hospital.
The circumstances surrounding the incident remain under investigation, Formella said. The investigation will continue to determine if Dyer’s and Randell’s use of deadly force was justified.
A report is expected to be released once the investigation is complete.
Police officers initially responded to the house after receiving an emergency call that an armed man inside, identified as Boulter, was making threats. It was previously reported that when officers arrived, they heard a gunshot come from inside the home.
Boulter stepped out the front door with a rifle. Officers saw Boulter aim the firearm at another officer before Dyer and Randell fired at him.
