Upon arrival, officers located a male shooting victim who suffered serious wounds. He was given medical aid, and was transported to the hospital by ambulance where he would later die.  According to police, a Massachusetts State Trooper approached a man acting suspiciously. The man brandished a firearm and fired a round. The Trooper ordered the man to drop the weapon, but he fled. Around 3:34 p.m., Worcester Police were dispatched to I-190 northbound, a short distance from Heroult Road, for a report of an armed man stopping traffic on the highway and pointing a firearm at motorists.
