Police Officer Jeremiah Hurley was killed while investigating a call regarding a suspicious package at 39 Eastbourne Street. During the investigation the package exploded, killing him and wounding the other officer on the scene.
The bomb had been attached to the bottom of a car and fell off in the driveway. The bomb builder was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment, but that conviction was overturned and he was re-sentenced in 2007 to serve 37 years. In August of 2008, a federal appeals court reinstated the life sentence.
Officer Hurley had served with the Boston Police Department for 23 years and was assigned to the Bomb Squad. He was survived by his wife, two daughters, two stepsons, and two grandchildren.
