Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus police Sean Collier was gunned down by the terrorists after their identities became public and Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Transit Police Officer Richard H. Donohue, Jr. would be shot and wounded by friendly fire a few hours later during a hail of gunfire in a shootout between between police and the terrorists.
