theweaselkingBoston woman killed by police during post-victory riot
"The Boston Police Department accepts full responsibility for the death of Victoria Snelgrove, an Emerson College student who would have turned 22 next week," said a somber Commissioner Kathleen O'Toole. "I met with her parents (yesterday) afternoon, and as I am sure you understand, there are no words to describe their grief."
Snelgrove was struck in the left eye by a projectile containing pepper spray that was fired by police trying to quell rioting on Lansdowne Street after the Red Sox beat the New York Yankees to clinch the American League pennant. Because the death was caused by a police officer, it is being investigated by the Suffolk district attorney.
