Not sure if this is true:

“The person who drove into the Apple Store was a 53 year old male from Hingham, who was a disgruntled employee.

The car was going 60-80mph at the time of entry.”

UPDATE: The suspect has been officially arrested.

UPDATE 2: He had no connection to the store and claimed that his foot got stuck on the accelerator: "While driving in the area of Barnes and Noble, Mr. Rein stated his right foot became stuck on the accelerator and his vehicle accelerated," State Trooper Andrew Chiachio wrote in a police report. "Mr. Rein stated he used his left foot to try to brake, but was unable to stop the vehicle and crashed through the front of the Apple store."

Being that their source is random guy on scene, and they’re also claiming the vehicle was going 60-80, it’s probably best to totally ignore this twitter account.

There’s no possible way he was going that fast. It’s an open lot/plaza, but there’s not enough room for a 4Runner to get up to those speeds especially where the Apple Store is located there.

This tweet starts off with the following:

#BREAKING #Urgent #BoycottQatar2022 #Boston #Hingham

Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s BS, but that middle hashtag seems a bit out of place to say the least

Agreed. Sounds a bit sus but all things considered there may be some truth to it.

Damn, if that’s true that’s some great engineering in the part of the car manufacturer and store contractors. I would think the hole in the glass would be way bigger than what’s shown in the pictures.
