A Massachusetts police officer described as a “great family man and officer” died Sunday after a man attacked him with a rock, then took the cop's gun and shot him in the head and chest, officials said.

Weymouth police officer Michael Chesna, 42, was killed after he sustained "life threatening" injuries in the shooting just before 8 a.m., officials. Another woman in her home was also shot and killed when the suspect, Emmanuel Lopes, fired the gun three more times while escaping responding officers.

Chesna was attempting to pull over a man who was driving erratically Sunday morning when Lopes crashed the vehicle, got out and attempted to flee the scene. Chesna then got out of his patrol car, drew his gun and demanded the suspect to stop, officials said in a news conference.

“Lopes then attacked Officer Chesna in what is believed to be with a large stone, striking [Chesna] in the head and Officer Chesna fell to the ground,” officials said.
