A Revere police officer was shot early Saturday behind the city's high school.
After being reported in grave condition all day, Officer Dan Talbot died shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday at Massachusetts General Hospital, said Revere police Lieutenant John Goodwin.
Before his death, City Council President John Powers said it was "a tough thing" for the city and everyone was hoping Talbot would pull through.
Neighbors near the high school said they heard police racing there about 2 a..m.
Police and prosecutors did not immediately release any information about what happened.
But there was intense police activity in the area Saturday afternoon, with state and local police going into people's homes, interviewing people on the street, and taking people into headquarters for questioning.
