It was around 11 a.m. at the Apple Store in Hingham when a black Toyota SUV came “intentionally” to break the window of the entrance. The impact was so violent that it unfortunately caused one victim. Several people are seriously injured and others are in shock.
In this small Massachusetts town of 20,000 people, the Apple Store is one of the city’s attractions. An investigation is underway to determine the causes of the tragedy. According to the first elements of the investigation, the maneuver would be intentional. The driver of the SUV was safely arrested shortly after the incident and is currently being questioned by police. In this small town without history, everyone tries to understand what happened and to make sense of such an act.
An unknown motivation
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that someone has attacked an Apple Store. Apple brand stores are particularly taken by thieves. If the method used here still questions the motivations of the driver, the police assure that they do not rule out any possibility. Regarding the Hingam attack, the driver’s motive should be made public by the police in the next few hours or days, now it all depends on the driver’s level of cooperation.
A total of 14 people were reduced to hospital. In addition to the deceased, two other patients are presented as in “very critical” condition. In care at the Boston hospital, the next few hours should be decisive for them. The police for their part explained last night that they were trying to contact the relatives of all those present at the scene of the tragedy.
