Sandra Garcia, the mother of 25-year-old Enrique Delgado-Garcia, expressed her anguish over the training incident: "I want them to explain it to me, that the state explains to me what happened with my son. ... Why did he hit him so hard that it killed him, that it destroyed his brain and broke all of my son's teeth and he had a neck fracture too, my son." This plea highlights the urgent need for accountability and clarity regarding safety protocols during police training.
McGuirk, the State Police spokesperson, noted, "Such police training can cover a range of physical encounters to defend against tackles, punches and other attacks," revealing the risky nature of training exercises. However, he did not provide specific details about the incident that led to Delgado-Garcia's medical crisis, leaving many questions unanswered in the community.
McGuirk also mentioned the tragic circumstance surrounding Delgado-Garcia's final moments: "The Massachusetts State Police administered the oath of office in Enrique Delgado-Garcia's final hours of life. He was surrounded by family, loved ones, and classmates during the bilingual ceremony, which culminated in him being pinned with his Trooper Badge." This statement illustrates the bittersweet nature of his graduation and the profound loss the community is facing.
