"Tragic End for Ex-Fire Chief in Fairhaven Standoff, Leaves Officer Injured and Bayside Lounge Closed"

Former acting New Bedford Fire Chief Paul Coderre, 55, was shot and killed by police during a standoff outside the Bayside Lounge in Fairhaven after a drunken altercation. Coderre allegedly fired at officers, who had attempted non-lethal measures to subdue him, leading to police returning fire. An Acushnet police officer was injured in the incident but is expected to recover. The incident is under investigation, and it follows Coderre's controversial dismissal from his fire chief position last year, which had been recently overturned by the state's Civil Service Commission.
