SPRINGFIELD, Mass.—A Springfield teenager shot by police as he ran down an officer with a car reported stolen has died.

Police say 18-year-old Tahiem Goffe died Monday night at Baystate Medical Center after being shot at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday.

Authorities say Goffe was shot by Officer Matthew Benoit. The vehicle struck Benoit, sending him airborne over the front corner of the vehicle and onto the ground. Benoit was treated at a hospital but was not seriously hurt.

Under department policy, Benoit has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into the shooting.

Two juvenile suspects were in the car with Goffe at the time of the shooting. Goffe had been facing charges including attempted murder.
