The incident occurred just after 8:30 p.m. Sunday night, during the height of the snowstorm. Several Woburn officers responded to a call of an armed robbery at the Kohl’s department store on Washington Street. At one point, officers engaged in a foot pursuit of Hanwright and the third suspect. The third suspected then engaged in gunfire with Maguire.
Maguire was transported to Lahey Clinic, where he was pronounced dead.
The third suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.
Hanwright allegedly fled down Washington Street, where Dingwell was waiting nearby in a car. Both were arrested.
Woburn police and State Police detectives assigned to Leone’s office continue to investigate the shooting.
