The officer won recognition this week from the city's top cop for his role in apprehending a man accused of squeezing off gunshots from a car. Martinez witnessed someone firing from a vehicle near Ernst and Bragdon last Saturday, according to a post on the Boston Police Department's blog. Martinez gave chase and, with the help of other units, made an arrest. During the chase, a loaded gun and pair of gloves, later recovered, were chucked from the car.
