John B. Maguire, 60, was killed in the line of duty in Woburn, Massachusetts, on the evening of December 26, 2010. A 34-year veteran of the Woburn Police Department and a husband and father of three, Maguire responded to a robbery in progress at the Kohl’s jewelry counter as employees were preparing to close. Three men were involved: one entered to commit the robbery, a second acted as a lookout, and a third waited in a getaway vehicle.

After the suspects fled with a bag of jewelry, Maguire encountered them in the parking lot and pursued one suspect on foot. During the chase the suspect shot Maguire four times in the torso; Maguire returned fire and killed that gunman. Maguire was taken to a Burlington hospital where he died. The two other suspects were later arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including murder and robbery.

What information do readers have about Maguire’s service or the events at the Kohl’s that night that might help the ongoing record of the case?
