The harrowing Monday afternoon incident was captured on video, showing the alleged shooter, identified by police as Tyler Brown, walking down Memorial Drive in Cambridge while indiscriminately opening fire with his assault weapon.
Brown squeezed off between 50 to 60 bullets, striking two men in vehicles, according to Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan.
The victims were rushed to a hospital, where they were listed in critical condition.
Ryan said Brown was finally neutralized after the suspect got into a shootout with a Massachusetts State Police trooper and a civilian with a license to carry a gun.

The D.A. said Brown was struck in his extremities and was also taken to a hospital, where he was placed in intensive care.
Brown, whose motive remains a mystery, is expected to be charged with two counts of armed assault with intent to murder, as well as other serious offenses.
Ryan said Brown was being supervised by either the Massachusetts Probation Department or Department of Parole, but she didn't provide more details.
