On 02/03/2026 around 5:00 p.m., Spencer Police Department officers were dispatched to a residence on Main Street after a 911 call reporting a person suffering from a gunshot wound. Shortly after locating that injured person, officers spotted 35-year-old Patrick Madison near West Main Street in the Big Y shopping plaza area. According to law enforcement, Madison produced a firearm and officers approached; gunfire was exchanged and Madison fled into the Family Dollar store.

SWAT members located Madison barricaded inside a bathroom at the rear of the store. Law enforcement reported Madison discharged a firearm toward officers, striking a Millbury Police Department officer who was part of the SWAT team; that officer was transported to a hospital and was reported in stable condition. Officers returned fire, striking Madison, who was pronounced dead at the scene. The Worcester County District Attorney’s Office and Massachusetts State Police detectives are investigating the use of deadly force by police.
