As blood rushed down Braintree Police Officer Donald Delaney's face he could be heard yelling, "I'm hit ... I'm hit."
Details of the officer's shooting and the exchange of gunfire between police and Tizaya Jordan Robinson at the Motel 6 in Braintree in May were contained in a report released by the Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey who said the use of deadly force was justified in Robinson's killing.
The report shows officers fired almost 30 rounds at Robinson after the 25-year-old Boston man shot at police on May 5, 2017. Braintree Police had headed to the Motel 6 to serve a restraining order to Robinson for Boston Police that night.
Officers were told Robinson was staying in room 113. Before heading to the motel the officers checked Robinson's criminal history, the district attorney's report said.
Robinson was wanted on a kidnapping warrant based on an incident in Boston and also had a long criminal history including past weapons charges.
Three officers, including Delaney, went to the motel. They met up with a fourth officer who was working a detail at the hotel.
After confirming Robinson was in room 113, the officers knocked on the door. They were all in uniform and a police dog was with them.
No one answered the door. One of the officers used a key card to get inside the room, but the security latch was quickly used, the report states.
"Police. Open the door," the officers said.
"Who is it?" the voice behind the door answered.
Gunshots then rang out. Robinson, according to authorities, had four shell casings next to him.
Video footage showed Delaney immediately recoil after Robinson fired at the officer. He yelled, "I'm hit .... I'm hit."
His fellow officers saw blood coming from Delaney's face. The officers, including Delaney, began firing back. The district attorney's report show Delaney fired 11 rounds while his fellow officers fired another 18 rounds.
Officers grabbed Delaney by his vest and dragged him to safety. More gunfire was then exchanged.
Police began evacuating guests from the motel as regional SWAT teams and State Police troopers converged on the scene.
An autopsy showed Robinson placed his 9mm automatic pistol under his chin and fired one shot. The wound however was not fatal, Morrissey wrote.
The fatal wound, a shot that entered Robinson's head, was fired by one of the officers, the district attorney said. The bullet was never recovered, so it is not possible to determine which officer fired the fatal shot.
SWAT teams were able to check the inside of Robinson's room by using a robotic arm equipped with a camera. Robinson was found dead on the floor, the 9mm handgun underneath him.
Robinson had a gunshot wound to his left thigh along with the two wounds to his head.
Delaney temporarily lost vision in one of his eyes after he was shot in the face. He was rushed to Boston Medical Center in Boston.
Morrissey reviewed video surveillance, photographs, search warrant affidavits, firearms reports along with interviews with the officers and other law enforcement who responded to the scene. He also reviewed Braintree Police's use of force policy.
"These officers were justified in using deadly force to protect themselves and other from the imminent threat of death from incoming gunfire," Morrissey wrote.
The district attorney found no criminal responsibility on the part of the officers.
