yes, what are the other numbers of shoots you have heard?

you can listen to the entire police radio transmission here

about half way through is when the officer calls in shots fired., and just after that another officer radios dispatch saying he heard 5 shots, dispatch confirms it was the police doing the shooting

Out of genuine curiosity is there any evidence one way or the other? From what I've heard we have accounts that the guy was covered in his own blood from harming himself, showing at minimum he's likely not in his right mind at the time. As tragic as his death is, at face value it looks like suicide by cop.

You can't claim he did without proof. The police already lied about aspects of this case, their credibility is ruined.

If you want to dispute the police's story, that's cool -- but you can't claim he "didn't chase anyone" unless you have proof of that.

I think this kind of situation underlines exactly why we should be equipping our police with man-catchers. If the Cambridge police had those, I bet this guy would still be alive.
