A Revere police officer was shot at least once early this morning in the rear parking lot of the city’s high school, sources said.
Neighbors and a city official said Officer Danny Talbot was rushed from the scene. He is now in the intensive care unit of Massachusetts General Hospital.
The state police homicide detectives assigned to the Suffolk District Attorney’s Office were immediately called to the scene.

State police canvassed the neighborhood around the shooting, knocking on doors and rousing neighbors around 4 a.m. to ask them what they knew and had heard.
Several neighbors reported hearing the same staccato pattern of gunfire: a pop followed by a pause, then between three and five shots in quick succession.
Neighbors said a state police helicopter has hovered over the scene for hours as police continue the hunt for the suspect or suspects responsible for the shooting.

Revere Officer In Grave Condition After Shooting

(WBZ) REVERE Revere police are searching for the person or persons responsible for shooting a Revere police officer in the rear parking lot of Revere High School early Saturday morning.

Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said 30-year-old Officer Daniel Talbot is in grave condition at Massachusetts General Hospital after being shot in the head.

Police have released few details about the case and no arrests have been made.

The high school was cordoned off and investigators scoured the area Saturday searching for evidence.

Conley said Talbot was a 5 year veteran of the force and was assigned to the gang unit.

"I'm told he has a reputation as a hard working, courageous officer who distinguished himself during his career as a police officer," Conley said. "He has our prayers this evening as does his fiancé, his family and his fellow officers."

Police called the case "extremely active" and said they were investigating a broad range of evidence.

Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to contact State police detectives at 617-727-8817.

Revere officer dies after shooting
The Boston Globe
REVERE, Mass. - An officer in the Revere Police Department's gang unit died last night, hours after he was shot in the head early yesterday in an outburst of violence that sent dozens of law enforcement agents throughout the city knocking on doors and questioning residents as they searched for suspects.
Officer Daniel Talbot, 30, had been in grave condition much of yesterday at Massachusetts General Hospital after being shot about 1:30 in the corner of the Revere High School parking lot near the bleachers by the school's baseball diamond, according to police officials and area residents. He died shortly before 10 p.m., according to Revere police Lieutenant John Goodwin.
Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley offered no explanation on how or why Talbot suffered the single gunshot wound to the head.
Speaking during a press conference yesterday afternoon, Conley said police had no suspects in custody but were looking into several leads. He said he would not rule out gang activity.
Revere Police Chief Terence K. Reardon would not comment on whether other officers were injured in the shooting. But Conley said State Police units that investigate officer-involved shootings were assisting yesterday.
The district attorney said that others were present at the scene and that some had been interviewed, but he would not comment on their identity or their relationship to Talbot.
"We know who Officer Talbot was with," Conley said. "We've interviewed them, and more interviews need to take place tonight."
Conley would not say whether Talbot was on duty at the time or why he was at the high school parking lot at that hour.
"Because of the very sensitive nature of this investigation and because it remains very active, we cannot discuss the details and findings we have reached at this point," he said. "At this stage, it's necessary for me to withhold much of what we have learned up to this point to maintain the integrity of this investigation."
Mayor Thomas G. Ambrosino, who visited the officer and his family at the hospital, said by phone that "our hearts go out to the family of Officer Talbot."
"The city will cooperate in any way we can to work with law enforcement to track down the perpetrators," Ambrosino said.
Talbot joined the 95-member Police Department about five years ago, the mayor said.
About four months ago, Talbot moved into a two-bedroom condominium in Salem that he purchased with his fiancée, said his next-door neighbor, Nela Gorodefskiy.
"It's just terrible," she said. "He was very friendly, very open."
Gorodefskiy said she learned about the shooting from one of his co-workers who came to his home yesterday. "I cried," she said. "He was crying, too."
The last fatality in the Revere Police Department was in September 1973, when Officer Joseph Moretti was shot while trying to stop an armed robbery.
As State Police helicopters flew overhead, dozens of state and local law enforcement officers scoured the city yesterday, focusing at one point in midday on a red, three-decker house on Thornton Street, in a working-class neighborhood of predominantly Cambodian and Brazilian residents.
Officers closed off the street as they entered homes, taking some residents to police headquarters for further questioning.
Less than a mile away, near the scene of the shooting, yellow police tape surrounded the high school parking lot as detectives spoke with neighbors and looked for evidence.
Revere has had several recent violent gang-related episodes, and last month was one of the communities federal immigration officials targeted in a three-day sweep for alleged members or associates of the MS-13 street gang.
City officials say Revere has changed dramatically in the past decade and has sought to reduce crime despite fewer police and an influx of new residents.
"He was a good police officer," said John Powers, president of the Revere City Council. "He was a cop's cop, somebody always on the job. Hopefully, whoever is responsible will be apprehended."

Any word if the info about the services went out over LEAPS, and if not, any more detailed info on services?

Posted by: misconceived

REVERE - St. Anthony's Church will be the focus of services for fallen police Officer Daniel Talbot on Friday, when a wake and law enforcement "walk-by" are scheduled, and Saturday, when his funeral will be held at 10 a.m.

The 1 p.m. walk-by will include hundreds of uniformed police officers filing past Talbot's casket in a show of respect. The procession is open to members of the public who are asked to take a seat in the church while the walk-by is underway.

The wake will be held from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The show of respect and grief will rival in scope funerals held in the last several years in neighboring communities for members of the military killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Drivers should anticipate traffic delays on streets around St. Anthony's on both days.
