Manhunt underway after off-duty Massachusetts police veteran found dead at woman's home
Authorities say Karen Solomon is armed and dangerous as multiple agencies search for her in the death of a 30-year Worcester police veteran.
- On Tuesday, Worcester police launched a search for 58-year-old Karen Solomon after finding her husband, veteran officer Kurt Solomon, dead at their Wildwood Avenue home; authorities consider her "presumed to be armed and dangerous."
- Karen Solomon founded First H.E.L.P., a nonprofit supporting families of first responders who died by suicide, and authored books including "Hearts Beneath the Badge," a professional history now contrasting sharply with her status as a suspect.
- A massive multiagency search involving the U.S. Marshals Service and FBI utilized a reverse 911 call to alert residents within a 2.5-mile radius; officers expanded the investigation Tuesday afternoon to a second location on Mill Street.
- Worcester County District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr. said finding Solomon is critical to determine "what happened in the house that evening," while union president Thomas Duffy called the victim a "loved and respected member" of the department.
- Officials urge anyone with information on Karen Solomon's whereabouts to contact the Worcester Police Department at 508-799-8606 or 911 immediately, as the investigation remains active and authorities follow leads.
