SHREWSBURY, MA — A Worcester County Grand Jury has indicted a 58-year-old man on three counts of attempted murder and seven other charges for allegedly driving his vehicle into the Shrewsbury Police Headquarters building in January.
Robert McCluskey, of Shrewsbury, was indicted Wednesday on three counts of attempted murder, three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, OUI (2nd offense), malicious destruction of property, and reckless operation of a motor vehicle.
On Jan. 19 at approximately 2:02 p.m., a 2022 BMW SUV driven by McCluskey crashed through the front lobby of Shrewsbury Police Headquarters at an extremely high rate of speed, according to police.
The vehicle crashed through two sets of doors, through the lobby, and penetrated the wall of the Communications Center, where three dispatchers were working.
Several Shrewsbury officers immediately responded to the lobby and rendered medical aid to McCluskey.
Officers quickly discovered that the crash was an intentional act, and McCluskey was placed under arrest.
McCluskey was first arraigned on Jan. 21 in Westborough District Court.
