Several witnesses recall the scene immediately after a shooting outside a Starbucks in North Beverly on Friday night, allegedly by Hamilton Police Sgt. Kenneth Nagy, who authorities said later committed suicide near the scene.
A witness to Friday night’s shooting in North Beverly – allegedly by off-duty Hamilton Police Sgt. Kenneth Nagy – heard two loud bangs in front of Starbucks at the time of the shooting, he told New England Cable News. “It was definitely not normal – like somebody dropping a package or a box or something,” Ricky Graf told NECN. Graf also said that some customers were trapped inside the Starbucks for two hours while police investigated. “It looked like he was bleeding from his groin area,” one witness, who was not identified, told WCVB-TV. Hours after the shooting, which seriously injured Beverly Police Officer Jason Lantych, some bloody clothes were still visible on the front steps of the coffee shop, as were some blood stains on the cement…
