Summary: |
Detective Charles Harm succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained the previous day when he was ambushed while escorting a bank messenger to the post office. The messenger was sending $21,000 from a local bank to the Federal Reserve Bank and Detective Harm had been assigned to protect the shipment.
As the two walked towards the post office Detective Harm noticed two suspicious mean approaching at the intersection of Clinton Street and Monastery Street. As he warned the messenger the men pulled out handguns and opened fire. Detective Harm returned fire, but his gun jammed after firing two shots. As he attempted to clear the jam a third suspect approached from behind and shot him several times, killing him.
The three men chased after the messenger and stole the money when the man dropped the package.
Four men were arrested and charged with Detective Harm's murder. They were released on bail and the case remained open for 10 years as detectives attempted to collect more evidence. During that time one of the suspects was murdered and a second was sent to prison on unrelated charges. One of the remaining suspects was taken into custody on unrelated charges 10 years later in Boston.
Detective Harm was survived by his wife, son, and daughter.
