Neighbors said that Reynoso served in both the Army and the National Guard and had at least one tour in the Middle East.
LYNN — Police fatally shot a military veteran at an apartment complex Thursday after the man reached for an officer’s gun during a struggle, according to officials and neighbors.
The Essex district attorney’s office identified the man as Denis Reynoso, 30, of Lynn. Family members of the man could not be reached for comment following the shooting.
Lynn Police Lieutenant Richard Donnelly said officers were called to 115 O’Callaghan Way in the King’s Lynne apartment complex, about 11:10 a.m. for a disturbance and were told that a man was screaming outside. They were then directed to Newcastle Street, which is also in the development.
Officers tried to speak to Reynoso there, but he grabbed for one of their guns and “shots were fired,” Donnelly said.
He said police began first aid and called for an ambulance. Reynoso was taken to Union Hospital in Lynn, where he was later pronounced dead. Donnelly said he did not know what wounds Reynoso had suffered.
It was not clear what touched off the initial disturbance that prompted the police response.
