Shrewsbury police Chief Kevin Anderson said that the motorist is “known to the department” but has not had any run-ins with police for several years.
“It’s very concerning, the entire staff that was there is very shooken up, we’re very fortunate that we have a training room that there was training going on and that ended about 30 minutes prior to this incident,” Anderson told WFXT.
Video from the scene showed the vehicle entirely within the police station.
Anderson said there were three dispatchers working when the vehicle smashed into the building.
“The vehicle actually went through the front door and actually went into dispatch, so it went through the lobby and went into dispatch,” he told WFXT.
An investigation is ongoing. Shrewsbury is approximately 39 miles west of downtown Boston.
