Officers responding to a reported shooting in the area of 165 Carl Ave. around 3 p.m. found the woman injured, according to police.

A detective located the suspect soon after and placed him in custody. His name has not been released.

The 39-year-old woman was taken to the hospital with what were considered non-life-threatening injuries.

Six officers already on the scene working as part of a detail were quickly alerted and worked to deescalate the situation.

Several individuals involved in the dispute were detained for questioning and to receive necessary medical treatment. Videos of the fight posted to social media show a chaotic scene and at least one individual with a bloody face.

No arrests were made, but Saugus Police said the investigation is ongoing and that charges may be forthcoming, particularly for one individual who was seen using a glass bottle in the fight, a felony offense.

“The Kowloon is a family friendly restaurant, unfortunately a few unruly patrons ruined a nice evening for many others,” Saugus Police Chief Michael Ricciardelli said in a statement. “A disturbance such as this on Thanksgiving Eve is unacceptable and disgusting.”

The restaurant and bar closed early following the conflict.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Saugus Police at 781-941-1199.

Catholic Charities Boston is the first organization to be awarded a grant to provide temporary rooms to extremely low-income families with children and pregnant individuals, the United Way of Massachusetts Bay announced this week.

The grant will pay for a site in the greater Boston area that opened on Tuesday evening and can accommodate up to 27 families, or about 81 people, as they wait to enter the state’s emergency shelter system, officials said.

Catholic Charities Boston will provide bedding, meals, staff, and security. The site is available to families eligible for the the state’s family shelter system but who could not be immediately placed in a shelter.

Democratic Gov. Maura Healey announced the $5 million grant program earlier this month.

Sarah Bartley of the United Way said the agency has already received several other grant applications. The grants are meant to support community gathering spaces with restrooms and heat, such as places of worship, community centers, and school buildings, to provide safe space for families to find short-term, congregate shelter, meals and other basic necessities, she said.

The flexible program will remain in place through the winter and spring, officials said.

On Monday, the state began letting homeless families stay overnight in the state transportation building in Boston. The space in the office building is large enough to provide overnight shelter for up to 25 families with cots and limited amenities and will only be used in the evening and overnight hours, officials said.

The space will be available to families determined eligible for emergency assistance and is expected to operate for about two weeks until additional safety net shelter sites are operational.

The spike in demand is being driven in part by migrant families entering the state. About half of the current shelter caseload are new arrivals to Massachusetts, according to the Healey administration.

As of last Friday, there were 92 families on the state’s waiting list for emergency shelter.

Shot in New England, “Good Burger 2” features nine-year-old Alexis Turner, of Dorchester, alongside stars Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell. In the film, Turner plays Ketchup, one of Mitchell’s on-screen daughters.

“I’m so excited to see it,” Turner said. “It was a great experience. I loved to be there, I had a really fun time.”

Turner told 7News some of her favorite parts of filming included scenes where she ate french fries, ran down hallways, and got into a pillow fight.

The young actress, who has been performing since age four, is supported in her career by her mother Antoinette Toney.

“I’m very proud,” Toney said. “She’s my best friend and I’m just going to always be there for her. As long as she wants to do it, I’m going to support her.”

Good Burger 2 is streaming now on Paramount+.

Emergency crews were first called to the scene on Moody Street around 5:30 p.m. In all, officials said four buildings were damaged. Fifteen people were displaced. 

“It literally punched me in the face,” Leandro Paola said of the thick smoke that at one point filled the neighborhood. “Just the scent of burning woods, it was ridiculous.” 

Video shared with 7NEWS showed the entire back of one building engulfed in flames. The siding on one other building was visibly melted. 

One woman in the area said she saw two of her neighbors, 12-year-old girls, go door to door as the flames grew to tell their neighbors to get out of their buildings. 

“The house just caught fire super quick,” the woman said. “We saw it, just like paper, everything just started flying into the sky.” 

Crews from Cambridge, Newton and Waltham ultimately worked together to put the fire out, with dozens of firefighters working to get people to safety and douse flames. 

Several people were seen being taken away by paramedics. 

Later speaking with reporters, Waltham Fire Chief Andrew Mullen said crews experienced heavy fire conditions as they responded. 

“People were still inside. We were getting people out,” Mullen said. “They had to tackle the fire and full houses at the same time.”

As shock and sadness spread Thursday night, and despite the damage, there was a moment of thanks that no one was seriously hurt and no lives were lost in this Thanksgiving Day fire. 

“It’s just sad,” said the woman who saw her young neighbors sounding the alarm. “I just hope these people find shelter for right now and I’m just glad that everyone’s OK because, you know, material things we can recover.” 

Officials said one firefighter was injured and treated on the scene during this response. The firefighter is expected to be OK.

Though the fire had been extinguished, crews remained on scene around 9 p.m. Thursday. The Red Cross was also on scene to help people who were displaced. 

Chief Mullen said the cause of the fire remained under investigation.

Scott Macaulay has held the tradition for nearly 40 years. He had to make some changes in delivery due to the pandemic. Recently speaking to 7NEWS, though, he said he is always happy to help out his community.

“They’re not just names,” Macaulay said as he handed out food this week. “They’re people. They’re people with a story.” 

For the broken and the forgotten, Macaulay has always had a hot meal and a shoulder to lean on over the years. 

This year, Macaulay said he gave out more than 100 meals. 

“You get sort of attached to them,” he said of the people receiving meals. 

“Then, there’s different ones you remember more than others,” he continued. “Some of them are funny and some of them are sad.”

Nicole Stanley said she lost her mother a few days after Thanksgiving last year. 

“Scott was the first phone call,” she said. 

For Macaulay, the work is not just a Thanksgiving tradition but a lesson in gratitude.

“They’re individuals and, if they share their story, that makes it not just a name on my list,” he said. “It makes them a person, a real live person.”

He said he has people write down what they’re thankful for.

“It gives them a place to come and go and get a meal and it makes the day better than it would be if it would be if I’m not here, I guess,” Macaulay said.

Macaulay continued, saying it will all be worth it if one less person is alone for the holidays.  

“As long as there’s a need, I guess I got to keep doing it,” he said. “I might be doing it with a cane, but I’ll keep doing it as long as I can.”

Dropping off some 50 pies beforehand and dawning a festive turkey cap, McAvoy, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Boston City Council President Ed Flynn, and other officials helped carve turkeys for nearly 2,000 holiday dinners.

“It’s just a great time – we get to come here, we get to meet a lot of nice people, a lot of people who are volunteering their time as well and it’s awesome,” McAvoy told reporters.

“This organization and all of our partners across the city do so much every single day of the year,” Wu said. “For all of the staff, for all of the supporters, everyone who comes here to volunteer – it’s life-changing.”

The volunteers worked to serve meals at a time Pine Street Inn Executive Director Lyndia Downie said the shelter is over-capacity. She also described how for those in need of the shelter’s services, Thanksgiving can often be bittersweet.

“Everybody’s home, everybody’s talking about being with family, being with friends, and if you’re here, that’s not your situation – you’re by yourself and you’re really feeling it, so it’s a very, very hard day, it’s a very emotional day for people,” Downie said.

Speaking with reporters, one volunteer said she had previously stayed at the Inn, but after finding housing, was back to give back herself.

“I might as well give back because I’m so thankful – for what Pine Street has done for me for many, many years,” said Julia Mitchell.

Officials with the DA’s office said the victims were found early Thursday morning after officers were called to Central Square around 12:30 a.m.

According to authorities, while responding to 10 Magazine St., officers found two individuals suffering from gunshot wounds near a black Tesla in the roadway.

Both were taken to a Boston hospital where one of the victims, described as a 27-year-old female, was pronounced dead, while the other, a 26-year-old male, was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

“It was really scary,” said a witness who lives nearby, who told 7NEWS she was woken up by the sound of gunshots outside her home. “I looked out from my window a few minutes later and I saw all of the police cars coming.”

“It’s horrifying – I feel sick about it,” Pam Curtis, a resident of 30 years, told reporters. “It’s upsetting – I raised my son here, we have people in the neighborhood with kids.”

“We walk through there every day and you don’t think anyone’s carrying a gun,” said resident Chris Brokaw.

As an investigation into the shooting continues, the DA’s office asks anyone with information contact the Cambridge Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Unit, or submit tips anonymously at 617-349-3370 or online at cambridgepolice.org/TIPS.

Officers responding to a report of a person stabbed in the area of 51 Stuart St. around 2 a.m. found two men suffering from non-life-threatening stab wounds, according to Boston police. Both were taken to a nearby hospital.

Police officers could be seen gathering evidence in a taped-off area outside the nightclub.

No arrests have been made in connection with the incident.

No additional information was immediately available.

After messy weather earlier in the day, the store was as stuffed as the shopping carts in the parking lot. 

“It was pretty messy inside,” said last-minute shopper Ariana Nichols. 

“Insane,” said fellow last-minute shopper Mark Perrault. “This is like Black Friday times 10. 

Many in Chelsea were hoping to gobble up deals on holiday staples. 

Perrault, though, wasn’t so lucky. 

“We got 99% except for the one main thing — the turkey,” he said. 

Turning to plan B, he said he now hopes to get a turkey from the VA.

“We’re actually down to like a plan F right now,” he said. 

This week’s pre-Thanksgiving storm dropped a mix of snow and rain across part of the region beginning Tuesday night. Clearer skies are now expected to linger through the weekend. 

While many may be staying at home, millions are expected to hit the road or take to the sky for travel before the end of the day Sunday. 

And where some were scrambling Wednesday night, the American Farm Bureau Federation recently estimated Thanksgiving dinner this year will cost roughly 5% less than it did a year ago, marking good news for consumers.

Lawyers for Han Lee and Junmyung Lee agreed to a voluntary order of detention during a brief court hearing two weeks after their arrest. Magistrate Judge David Hennessy in Worcester, Massachusetts, entered the order without prejudice, which means defense lawyers can move for their release at a later date.

Their attorneys declined to comment after the hearing.

Authorities have said the commercial sex ring in Massachusetts and northern Virginia catered to politicians, company executives, military officers, lawyers, professors and other well-connected clients.

Prosecutors have not publicly named any of the buyers and they have not been charged. But acting Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Josh Levy has said the investigation is ongoing and that prosecutors are committed to holding accountable both those who ran the scheme and those who fueled the demand.

Prosecutors have argued Han Lee and Junmyung Lee pose a risk of flight, pointing to their financial resources and lack of ties to the community. A Homeland Security Investigations agent said in court papers filed Wednesday that authorities believe Han Lee made an “astounding” amount of money as the leader of the operation.

It was run using websites that falsely claimed to advertise nude Asian models for professional photography, prosecutors allege. The operators rented high-end apartments to use as brothels in Watertown and Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Tysons and Fairfax, Virginia, prosecutors said.

Authorities say Han Lee recruited women and maintained the websites and brothels. She paid Junmyung Lee, who was one of her employees, between $6,000 to $8,000 in cash per month in exchange for his work booking appointments for the buyers and bringing women to the brothels, among other things, the agent wrote.

Prosecutors believe the operators raked in hundreds of dollars through the network, where men paid upwards of $600 per hour for services. Officials say Han Lee concealed more than $1 million in proceeds from the ring by converting the cash into money orders, among other things, to make it look legitimate.

Authorities seized from their apartments cash, ledgers detailing the activities of the brothels and phones believed to be used to communicate with the sex customers, according to court papers. The agent wrote investigators at Han Lee’s home also found items indicative of her “lavish and extravagant spending habits,” including luxury shoes and bags.

A third person charged in the case, James Lee, was arrested in California and was ordered by a judge there to remain behind bars while he awaits trial. He has yet to appear in court in Massachusetts.

Steve Waithe, 30, of Chicago, pleaded guilty to 12 counts of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit computer fraud and one count of computer fraud, prosecutors said.

Waithe also pleaded guilty to cyberstalking one victim through text messages and direct messages sent via social media, as well as by hacking into her Snapchat account, prosecutors said.

A lawyer for Waithe did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.

Sentencing is scheduled for March 6, 2024. Waithe was originally arrested in April.

Acting United States Attorney Joshua Levy called Waithe’s behavior despicable.

“For almost a year, he manipulated, exploited and in one case stalked young women across the county hiding behind a web of anonymized social media accounts and fabricated personas he engineered. Mr. Waithe maliciously invaded the lives of dozens of innocent victims and inflicted real trauma,” Levy said in a statement.

Waithe previously worked as a track and field coach at several academic institutions, including Northeastern University, Penn State University, Illinois Institute of Technology, University of Tennessee and Concordia University Chicago.

While a track coach at Northeastern, Waithe requested the cell phones of female student-athletes under the pretense of filming them at practice and at meets, instead covertly sending himself explicit photos of the women that had previously been saved on their phones, according to prosecutors.

Prosecutors said starting as early as February 2020, Waithe used the sham social media accounts to contact women, saying he had found compromising photos of them online.

He would then offer to help the women get the photos removed from the internet, asking them to send additional nude or semi-nude photos that he could purportedly use for “reverse image searches,” prosecutors said.

Waithe also invented at least two female personas — “Katie Janovich” and “Kathryn Svoboda” — to obtain nude and semi-nude photos of women under the purported premise of an “athlete research” or “body development” study, investigators said.

A review of Waithe’s browser history also uncovered searches such as “Can anyone trace my fake Instagram account back to me?” and “How to Hack Someones Snapchat the Easy Way,” prosecutors said.

The fire burned at Los Amigos Restaurant and sparked a massive response from firefighters from Chelsea and surrounding communities. 

Heavy smoke and flames could be seen billowing out of both stories of the structure on Broadway when fire crews arrived around 9 a.m. Fire crews could soon be seen attempting entry through the charred rear of the building and on the roof hammering down.

Authorities said the fire was put out in about an hour. Though the damage was limited to the one structure, officials said neighboring buildings potentially had water damage.

In an update later Wednesday afternoon, authorities said a Revere firefighter was taken to a hospital for what was considered a head injury.

“We’re in a commercial block, buildings are attached,” said Chelsea Fire Chief Leonard Albanese. “These are tough fire fights.”

“They were able to keep it to the structure of origin. Really strong work by the members,” Albanese continued.

With two families forced out of their homes on the day before Thanksgiving, crews worked into the night Wednesday to hopefully bring the displaced families home. 

Chelsea Emergency Management Director Steve Staffier said crews were working to get power restored after the fire. A second issue, he said, “is obviously cleanup.” 

At businesses near the site of this fire, such as the Calaveras Tattoo Studio, workers were thankful they had no damage. 

Though crews contained the fire, one area store owner said this fire’s timing and the need to close up shop on the day before a major holiday hit hard. 

“We lost business,” said Thaier Tuffaha. “It’s Thanksgiving Day tomorrow. We sell aluminum foil, kitchen stuff, all the things, that’s the stuff we sell here.”

An investigation into the cause of this fire remained ongoing as of Wednesday evening.

Kennedy, who was born in Brookline, was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas in 1963 while riding in an open top limousine as part of a motorcade welcoming him to the city.

His killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, was arrested but later shot and killed while in police custody before he could be charged for the crime.

The JFK Library in Dorchester is marking the occasion with a display of the American flag that was draped on his coffin during his funeral. There will also be an exhibit on display featuring items related to the assassination, including letters of condolence sent to First Lady Jackie Kennedy.

The library said their focus is typically on the president’s legacy and not the assassination, but they wanted to do something to mark the anniversary.

“It’s a special commemoration, a somber occasion, of course,” said Alan Price, Director of the JFK Presidential Library. “Just in a very small capsule conveys the importance of that occasion. Some things that you ordinarily would never see.”

Kennedy was just 46 years old at the time of his death. He remains the youngest person ever elected President of the United States.

The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts announced the brothel network’s breakup earlier this month, which officials believe had clients who included “elected officials, high tech and pharmaceutical executives, doctors, military officers, government contractors that possess security clearances, professors, attorneys, scientists and accountants, among others.”

Han Lee, 41, of Cambridge, Mass., and Junmyung Lee, 30, of Dedham, Mass., are expected in court today. A third suspect, James Lee, 68, of Torrance, Calif., is under investigation.

Citing charging documents at the time of their arrest, the US Attorney’s Office said that since at least July 2020, the suspects had operated an “interstate prostitution network” with brothels in Cambridge and Watertown in Massachusetts, along with locations in Fairfax and Tysons, Va.

“It is alleged that the defendants collectively established the infrastructure for brothels in multiple states which they used to persuade, induce and entice women – primarily Asian women – to travel to Massachusetts and Virginia to engage in prostitution,” the US Attorney’s Office stated in a news release.

Officials said the three would allegedly rent high-end apartment complexes for their brothels, paying as much as $3,664 in rent as they furnished and regularly maintained the units.

Advertising their network online, the suspects would “advertise nude Asian models for professional photography at upscale studios as a front for prostitution offered through appointments with women listed on their websites.”

Federal prosecutors said clients in this case paid for sex at price ranges “from approximately $350 to upwards of $600 per hour depending on different services.”

While only three people have been charged, to date, prosecutors said the men they’ve talked to and identified as clients could still face charges.

Officials are seeing a “drop” in new arrivals seeking emergency shelter, Healey said. But she said it’s difficult to pinpoint the cause.

The governor announced on Oct. 16 that her administration would cap shelter capacity at 7,500 families, and temperatures since then have continued their seasonal drop, with winter ready to take hold next month.

House Speaker Ron Mariano last month said he was advised that declining temperatures wouldn’t make an impact, but Healey raised the weather Tuesday when asked by a reporter if fewer families were arriving following her shelter cap announcement.

“We also have colder weather, and I think frankly, people are mindful of that as they make decisions about whether to leave Texas or Florida as they’ve come into the country,” Healey told reporters.

With dozens of migrant families arriving daily in recent weeks ahead of her shelter cap announcement, Healey had expected the shelter would reach its limit by Nov. 1. But it took until Nov. 9 before officials had to start turning families away.

Some 90 families were on a waitlist to access state-funded shelter on Monday, homelessness prevention advocates said Monday.

Healey said about 17 families spent Monday night at MBTA headquarters, where administration officials converted conference rooms into a temporary overnight shelter operation. The space at the State Transportation Building can accommodate up to 25 families.

“This is all about we’re going to do everything we can, and we have so far, to make sure that families are housed here in the state. I’m proud of the effort last night,” Healey said, referring to the Transportation Building accommodations. “Obviously we have more capacity there, and we’re just going to continue to work the problem.”

The governor declared a shelter state of emergency in August and in October announced her cap, saying “we do not have enough space, service providers or funds to safely expand beyond 7,500 families.”

After Monday’s surprise announcement, Healey wouldn’t say whether other state buildings will be used for shelter, but said more shelter options are “coming online” through a previously announced $5 million grant program administered by United Way of Massachusetts Bay.

“What we’ve said right now is we’re going to continue to do what we can to make sure that people are housed, and that’s what we’ve done,” Healey said.

Spokespeople for United Way did not respond to News Service questions about the distribution of public grant dollars so far to community and volunteer organizations, as well as faith groups, to establish congregate overflow shelter sites.

Administration officials, who unveiled the grant program earlier this month, said prospective sites included communal gathering spaces with restroom facilities and heat, such as community centers, school buildings, and places of worship. Grants can be used to support staff and supplies like cots, blankets and food.

The governor’s request for $250 million to support families in the state’s emergency shelter system remains held up in private talks among Democrats who could not strike a deal on a supplemental budget bill last week before the end of formal lawmaking for the year.

While the House and Senate broadly agree on the funding amount, House Democrats want to condition some of their funding on the creation of an overflow site or sites and force the administration to revoke its shelter limit if officials fail to do so.

“I hope it gets done — we need that supp budget done,” Healey said. “We need the bill done, and want to be able to see that happen as soon as possible. This is important funding for state workers, for MassHealth, for special ed, for flood relief, assistance to our cities and towns. There’s a lot that is there, so we really need the action.”

The Boston Police Department said Brandon Frazier of East Boston was arrested after officers were first called to the area of 406 Meridian St. for a report of an armed robbery on Monday.

Police arrived to find the victim, who told authorities that a man had approached him while wielding a knife and demanded money from him.

According to the victim, when he refused, the suspect proceeded to “cut a hole in the victim’s pants” to get at his money, cell phone, and ATM card.

“The victim then stated the suspect placed the knife to his throat and demanded his pin number,” Boston PD stated in a news release.

After the victim refused to give a number, police say the suspect threw the victim’s phone and ATM card to the ground before fleeing the scene.

Frazier was later located by police after an investigation, which included officers locating the weapon that was allegedly used.

The 36-year-old was then taken into custody and charged with Armed Robbery and Carrying a Dangerous Weapon to wit: Knife.

A not guilty plea was entered on the 35-year-old’s behalf as the prosecution laid out their case, reviewing a police report that described how officers were called to Lucic’s North End apartment on Saturday, Nov. 18, for what was described as an assault and battery incident around 1 a.m.

The report detailed how a family member had reached out to authorities, and during her call, said Lucic had attempted to choke her. According to the report, officers met with the family member in the apartment’s lobby and learned that the incident occurred after, sometime during the night, Lucic had come home and could not find his cell phone.

She said Lucic accused her of hiding the phone and demanded it back, and that when she told him she did not have it or know where it was, he grabbed her by the hair and pulled her backwards as she tried to walk away, stating that she “wasn’t going anywhere.”

The report also detailed how the family member declined treatment and told police she had not been strangled when asked, after an officer spotted what appeared to be redness in her chest area. She also told police that she thought Lucic had been consuming alcohol.

After speaking with her, police headed upstairs and met with Lucic, who they say appeared to have been drinking. The suspect also claimed nothing had happened.

While bringing Lucic into a bedroom to retrieve clothing, officers noted seeing a broken lamp on one of the nightstands and a small amount of broken glass on the floor, which Lucic claimed was broken shards of plastic. The 35-year-old was later booked at the Boston Police Department’s A-1 police station and was allowed out on bail.

Lucic was allowed out on personal recognizance Tuesday, with an order to refrain from drinking and to not abuse the alleged victim.

He is due back in court on Jan. 19. Lucic is also on indefinite leave of absence from the Bruins as the case continues.

The T announced Tuesday morning that more than nine miles of the Red Line, or nearly 20 percent of the branch, remains under speed restrictions, which the transit authority said is the lowest amount since March 8 when the MBTA initiated slow zones systemwide.

The slow zones — which in this case limited train speeds to 10 mph or 25 mph – are in place because the T determined it would be unsafe to run trains at normal speeds until fixes are made. The latest work involved replacing more than 2,000 feet of rail and 115 rail ties.

Once considered rare, the MBTA is now routinely taking portions of its core subway service offline to make repairs in less time than it would take to make them during overnight shifts.  The T believes it can use this approach to address all slow zones by the end of 2024.

Red Line passengers were diverted to shuttle buses while the work was conducted during evenings between Nov. 14 and Nov. 16 and all day over the weekend of Nov. 18-19.

The T also used the work period to paint, clean signs, sand and restore platform benches, install new rubber flooring on the stairway at Broadway Station, and fix “tripping hazards” on the platform at South Station. 

The special town meeting was called after residents organized to express concerns about transparency in the department.

Authorized by Monday’s vote, a committee comprised of two members of both the select board and the police department, two representatives of the citizen organizers who called for the vote, and three town residents will work to hire an independent investigator to look into department operations.

“Unfortunately, I think you’re seeing more and more instances where demonstrations are lending themselves to action that is simply not protected under free speech doctrine,” Healey said at a press conference when asked about hate-based incidents on college campuses.

The governor added, “I do want to be clear, there is a distinction, and I know that all of us who work together with law enforcement will make sure that we’re gonna hold the line when it comes to addressing that distinction.”

At the University of Massachusetts Amherst this month, a student was arrested for assaulting a Jewish student following a UMass Hillel event focused on calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza, according to Western Mass News. Also at UMass Amherst, about 60 pro-Palestinian protestors were arrested for trespassing last month as they staged a sit-in protest at an administrative building where they called on university officials to condemn Israel’s attacks on Gaza and cut ties with defense contractor Raytheon Technology.

Brandeis University this month revoked its recognition of the National Students for Justice in Palestine chapter on campus. President Ron Liebowitz said university officials made the decision because SJP supports Hamas, which the United States has designated as a terrorist organization, and “its call for the violent elimination of Israel and the Jewish people.”

“All students, faculty, and staff are welcome here, and encouraged to participate in the free exchange of ideas,” Liebowitz said in a message to the university community. “To promote such free exchange, we must not and do not condone hate, the incitement of violence, or threats against or harassment of anyone, be they Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Israeli, Palestinian, or any other religion or ethnicity.”

“I know that we’re going to continue to work in communication with our colleges and universities here in Massachusetts,” Healey said. “We’re proud in Massachusetts to be home to so many wonderful educational institutions, and it’s important that we continue to provide them with the guidance and assistance they need.”

Attorney General Andrea Campbell indicated her office is also responding to hate on college campuses.

“We will work with our college and university presidents as they’re grappling with an unprecedented uptick in incidents on their campuses to be as helpful as we can,” Campbell said.

The incident happened around 7:30 p.m. at a low clearance bridge on Mount Pleasant Street. 

Police said the truck had been removed as of around 8:30 p.m.

No one was hurt in the crash and police said there was no structural damage to the bridge.

Michael Heineman of the law firm HBMH Law said the firm filed a wrongful death suit on behalf of the family on Monday against multiple parties linked to the shooting. The suit, in turn, comes a matter of days after officials announced a judge ruled the shooting of 37-year-old Brendan Reilly was justified.

“Until now, we have abstained from making public comments about Brendan’s tragic loss of life with the hope that we would receive answers through a moral and accurate Inquest process,” Reilly’s family said in a statement. 

“We attended all court dates for the Inquest proceedings,” the family continued. “Unfortunately, the Inquest did not adequately provide all answers to what happened to Brendan. 

The shooting happened on Feb. 12, 2022. 

In his report, Judge Michael Brennan said officers had been responding to an incident when Reilly allegedly threatened them with a knife. 

Brennan said one officer slipped and fell on the scene, at which point Reilly allegedly charged at officers with the knife. Brennan said another officer ultimately shot and killed Reilly. 

Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan addressed the shooting and the recent judge’s report in a statement on Saturday, saying “The Reilly family remains in our thoughts as they continue to mourn Brendan.”

Reilly’s family continued in their statement on Monday, saying the court overseeing the inquest into Reilly’s death “only heard evidence which the District Attorney’s Office selectively chose to present.”

“Important evidence was never presented for the Court’s consideration,” the family continued. 

The family said the Middlesex District Attorney’s office also chose not to call an eyewitness to the shooting and the moments before it, adding the witnesses’ phone “was used to take photographs and video of the scene.” 

“On February 12, 2022, Brendan lost his life at the hands of the Lexington police while suffering a mental health crisis outside of his home owned and operated by Eliot Community Human Services,” Reilly’s family said. “He was afraid for his life and desperately in need of care.”

“The use of aggressive behavior and force by the Lexington Police was unnecessary,” Reilly’s family continued. “Logical steps were not practiced by police responders.”

The family said it is suing the town of Lexington, the officers involved “and those who failed to provide necessary medical care to Brendan.”

“We look ahead to obtaining all evidence surrounding Brendan’s death, as any factual court proceeding should include,” the family said.

Lucic was previously arrested on Saturday morning at his North End apartment in Boston following what was reported to be a domestic incident, leading to the Bruins placing him on indefinite leave.

A police report obtained by 7NEWS described how officers were called to Lucic’s apartment in the North End by a family member, who had called police stating Lucic attempted to choke her.

According to the report, officers met with the family member in the apartment’s lobby and learned that the incident occurred after, sometime during the night, Lucic had come home and could not find his cell phone.

The family member said Lucic accused her of hiding the phone and demanded it back, and that when she told him she did not have it or know where it was, he grabbed her by the hair and pulled her backwards as she tried to walk away, stating that she “wasn’t going anywhere.”

The report also detailed how the family member declined treatment and told police she had not been strangled when asked, after an officer spotted what appeared to be redness in her chest area.

She also told police that she thought Lucic had been consuming alcohol.

After speaking with her, police headed upstairs and met with Lucic, who they say appeared to have been drinking. The suspect also claimed nothing had happened.

While bringing Lucic into a bedroom to retrieve clothing, officers noted seeing a broken lamp on one of the nightstands and a small amount of broken glass on the floor, which Lucic claimed was broken shards of plastic.

The 35-year-old was later booked at the Boston Police Department’s A-1 police station and was allowed out on bail.

Lucic is now expected to face a judge on Tuesday.

Bruins Head Coach Jim Montgomery and team Captain Brad Marchand reacted to the situation, in the meantime. 

“We’re all very concerned and upset for them with what they’re going through,” Marchand said.

“We support the Lucic family and we will continue to provide support and help,” Montgomery said.

Rafael Garcia, 44, of Boston, is charged with conspiracy to violate drug laws, obtaining drugs by fraud and larceny of a drug. Judge James Coffey set bail at $2,500 and ordered Garcia to return to court Dec. 29 for a pre-trial hearing.

The Massachusetts State Police Narcotics Unit built information about Garcia’s illegitimate prescription scheme during their investigation of John Cann, a nurse practitioner who worked with Garcia in the Boston Medical Center emergency department, according to a statement.

Cann was arraigned in Malden District Court earlier this year on charges involving issuing improper prescriptions at a Malden pharmacy for Adderall, Lorazepam and Amphetamine ER, many of which he would pick up himself.

Police began their investigation after being contacted by a pharmacist who became suspicious of Cann’s prescription practices and patterns.

The investigation, undertaken in conjunction with the state Insurance Fraud Bureau, showed that Cann wrote numerous prescriptions of Clonazepam, Adderall, Dextroamphetamine, Androderm patches and injectable testosterone for Garcia between February 2021 and June 2023, despite Garcia not being his patient, prosecutors allege. Cann allegedly picked up many of the substances he prescribed for Garcia himself and Garcia had the prescriptions billed to his health insurance.

“Insurance fraud hurts everybody,” Hayden said in a statement. “Putting controlled substances on the street for personal gain—which appears to be the motive here—pushes that hurt even further. The fact that these are people abusing their legal and ethical responsibilities is an added level of medical and professional duplicity. I’m thankful that an alert pharmacist flagged this scheme for investigators.”

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and U.S. Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley were among those on hand to support the effort.

Shirley Shillingford said, “They’re amazed because they didn’t realize they would get so much.”

“Our families work so, so hard and today with housing costs are expensive as they are and the price of food and everything going up, the holidays can be really stressful because you want to give your family that beautiful time together,” Wu said.

Young volunteer Zayden Magee said, “It made me feel really good to help put a smile on other peoples faces, especially people who don’t have enough food for their family.”

The pantry says it plans on dishing out some 600 meals this year.

Unlike traditional theaters, Alamo Drafthouse feature tables at each seat and moviegoers are able to order food and drinks – including beer, wine, and cocktails – to be delivered to them during screenings.

Tim League, founder of Alamo Drafthouse, said the Seaport is a great fit for the brand.

“I spent a couple days and wandered the streets, went to the restaurants, went to the bars, went to the breweries, and it’s just a vibrant part of the city,” he said. “It just feels like it meshes with what we’re trying to do.”

The programming at the theater will feature a mix of first-run films and curated classics.

But Massport interim CEO Ed Freni told reporters that the airport is “not an appropriate place” for migrants to stay, even as some were seen sleeping at the facility as the state grapples with the shelter crisis.

“When they come to Logan we meet them and we try to assist them, but we have to emphasize that Logan is not an appropriate place to house people,” Freni told reporters. The airport works with partners to transport the migrants to welcome centers and is looking to “other solutions in the future,” Freni said.

This week, Massachusetts lawmakers did not approve $250 million in emergency aid for the shelter system.

Massachusetts’ emergency shelter system hit a state-imposed limit of 7,500 families last week, and migrant advocates are relying on a patchwork of temporary shelters, including churches, hospital waiting rooms and even airport lounges. Because the shelter system is full, some homeless people have had to be put on a waiting list.

A new work authorization clinic is serving several hundred shelter residents per day. The clinic at Camp Curtis Guild, a Massachusetts National Guard training site in Reading, helps migrants obtain work authorization in the hopes of easing the strain on shelters.

State lawmakers who failed to approve a supplemental budget embarked for the Thanksgiving break with no plans to formally convene again for votes until the new year.

Lawmakers could approve additional spending in informal sessions before year’s end, but legislative rules make it easier to derail bills during informal sessions.

“MassDOT is doing everything we can to alleviate the congestion,” said MassDOT Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt. “We will be pausing construction work on major roadways outside of the established work zone.”

This pause includes the work being done on the Sumner Tunnel, which will stay open this weekend and Thanksgiving weekend.

The MBTA is also making adjustments to accommodate the annual holiday influx of riders.

“We have added additonal services to support increased ridership during the periods when we know that people are traveling,” said MBTA General Manager Phillip Eng. “For instance, Logan Airport to destinations in Boston, we have increased service on the Silver Line.”

Commuter Rail weekend passes, which cost $10, can be purchased on Thanksgiving Day and can be used through Sunday.

“Mass transportation, knowing how busy travel is, is a great way to go,” Eng said. “I hope everyone takes our system and has a great Thanksgiving and a great holiday.”

Crews arrived at the two-and-a-half story building on Rector Street to find billowing smoke and flames shooting through the roof and upper level walls.

“Heavy fire [through] the roof as companies continue to chase the fire through the building,” officials posted to X. “Companies have to work around the wires to reach the roof as the fire is traveling in the eaves.”

The department reported that the fire had been knocked down shortly after 11 a.m.

Six adults were displaced by the fire, but no injuries were reported.

Revere police said the individuals usually work in teams traveling in a motor vehicle. They then approach victims on the street or in parking lots and attempt to get a victim to come over to the vehicle, according to police. 

Police said the individuals will then remove a victim’s jewelry and replace it with a counterfeit version.

Revere police shared video of one such incident that they said happened last week at the Northgate Shopping Center.

The warning from police, in turn, followed other recent incidents of reported jewelry thefts in communities including Lowell and Tyngsboro.

In Lowell, police said an elderly woman had her jewelry stolen while she was walking in town.

In Tyngsboro, a 77-year-old woman had her jewelry taken when an SUV drove up alongside her and a passenger grabbed her. The passenger made off with the woman’s gold necklace. 

While police released video of a car sought in connection with the incident in Tyngsboro, no arrests had been made as of Thursday of this week.

Back in Revere, police have urged people to be on the lookout, saying anyone approached by would-be jewelry thieves should not engage in conversation and instead call authorities at 781-284-1212. 

Ken Wadness was taking his usual run through Medfield’s High Noon Reservation on Monday night when the attack happened. He was ultimately left with deep gashes in his scalp after he said the owl swooped out of the darkness toward him and his 11-pound dog, Micah. 

“Nothing like this has happened before in all the 30 years that I’ve been running in the woods,” Wadness said.

“I saw a large bird come below my elbow, swooping right over Micah,” he continued. “And then, suddenly it disappeared.”

Wadness didn’t know exactly what happened. Something told him, though, whatever had just attacked was not done with him and Micah. 

“Within ten seconds later, ‘whack’ on the back of my head, the talons of this bard owl just stuck into my head and hit me with a force that I knew could have probably killed Micah or grabbed onto him.”

Despite his injuries, curiosity got the better of Wadness. 

He pointed his headlamp to the tree limbs above him. There, he saw the owl that had just sent him and his dog a message. 

“I was really afraid that it was after my dog and that it wanted to get at Micah again,” Wadness said. “So, I took a stick, carried it over my head. I picked up Micah and we just continued down the trail where I looked behind me a bunch of times.”

A little research told Wadness it is nearly nesting season for owls. This one probably just decided Micah and his owner were getting a little too close. 

A photographer of wildlife, Wadness knows he’s the intruder in this territory. Going forward, he said he plans to give this owl its space.

“I love all the creatures out here and respect them and so, this is their home,” Wadness said.

Wildlife officials told 7NEWS an attack like the one against Wadness is unusual. 

Wadness, meanwhile, said he believes the battery pack on his headlamp saved him from suffering more serious injuries.

Wadness continued, saying he hopes others avoid the summit area of the High Noon Reservation, where he said he thinks the owl has made its home.

In an update on Monday, Nov. 20, the Boston Police Department said Latisha Smith had been located after requesting the public’s assistance on Thursday.

At the time, authorities said the child had not been seen in nearly a week.

No additional details were released.

The Boston Police Department is asking for the public’s help as it works to find a 14-year-old girl from Dorchester who has not been seen in nearly a week.

Boston PD said Latisha Smith was last sighted in the area of Bernard Street on Friday, Nov. 10, around 5 p.m.

Authorities described Smith as a Black female with a height of 5’1″ and weight of 130 pounds, in addition to having black hair in a small curly afro.

According to the police department, the teen is known to frequent Dorchester, Hyde Park and Malden.

Police said she was believed to be wearing a red-hooded sweatshirt and red sweatpants when she was last seen.

Anyone with information on the 14-year-old’s whereabouts is asked to either call 911 or contact Boston PD’s B-2 Detectives at 617-343-4275.

Those who wish to contact police anonymously can do so via the department’s CrimeStoppers Tip Line at 1-800 (494)-TIPS or by texting the word ‘TIP’ to CRIME (27463).

State police diverted traffic around the demonstration on the Boston University Bridge as it got underway around 8 a.m. The group, called “If Not Now,” is made up of Jewish Americans and their allies who are calling for the release of hostages and a ceasefire.

The roadblock lasted just over two hours as the group walked up and down the bridge, from the Cambridge side to Commonwealth Avenue, while carrying signs and a banner stating “Jews Say: Ceasefire Now.”

At 10:40 a.m., Massachusetts State Police announced that the protesters had left the bridge and that traffic had resumed.

No arrests were reported.

The devices can catch drivers who double park and block traffic. On Wednesday, 7NEWS got a closer look at how the technology works. 

“In general it’s hard,” said McKinnon’s Meat Market Manager Rigo Aleman. “For everyone.”

Aleman has been working at McKinnon’s Meat Market for 15 years. He said he sees a lot of double parking on Elm Street near the meat market.

“There’s a lot of traffic and it’s hard to walk for the people, pretty much, when they try to cross the street,” he said.

“It can be dangerous if they don’t pay attention,” he continued. 

City officials noticed in recent years that cars parked in a bus lane, in a crosswalk or in front of a fire hydrant in the Elm Street area.  

So, they tried a new strategy last year to minimize the parking problem, installing their new solar powered safety sticks. The sticks have a camera inside and capture instances when a driver parks and then leaves their car in an illegal parking zone. 

During last year’s pilot program, city officials said they noted more than 400 violations in a span of two months. 

“When people see empty spots, especially on the corners, they feel like, ‘Oh it will be OK if I just stop there for a minute,” said Somerville Director of Parking Suzanne Rinfert. “But it’s not usually a minute and a bus can pull up or someone could be in the crosswalk.”

When the safety sticks are activated again, city officials say they will take a picture of a license plate and send it to the city parking department with information on how long the car in question was idle in an illegal spot.

A parking official will then confirm the violation. If a car was in an illegal spot for longer than three minutes, a ticket will be mailed out. 

There are currently three safety sticks on Elm Street with a plan to expand to other parts of the city. 

Many said they think the program could help.

“People maybe change their behaviors, overall, to keep the roads safer,” said Somerville resident Cypress Frankfield. “It’s a good thing.”

City officials did not know as of Wednesday when the safety sticks will be live. They said they hope the system will be working by the end of the year, though.

The Brockton Police Department said the two-car collision happened at 11 a.m. by the intersection of Forest and Warren avenues.

According to authorities, the driver of a Toyota Corolla had been heading south on Warren Avenue when she allegedly crashed into a sedan, with the impact of the crash sending the Corolla into the side of a building.

Police said the driver of the Corolla and her child were taken to South Shore Hospital with “multiple injuries” that were not considered life-threatening, while a 50-year-old man in the other vehicle was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital for what were also believed to be minor injuries.

Authorities did not say whether there would be any charges in the crash.

The business that was struck was closed after this crash but later reopened, according to police.

No additional details were released.

Posting to their Facebook page, the Abington Police Department said it was Tuesday morning when a truck carrying cement spilled some of its cargo on Bedford Street, near the fire station.

“We had a bystander come in and report that there was some kind of a spill basically right across the street,” said Abington Fire Chief Jack Glynn. “A couple of our guys went out there to see and it looked like some kind of a cement – it was wet cement, it was all over the place.”

Multiple cars were damaged as a result of the spill, Abington PD said. To prevent further damage, three lanes of traffic ended up having to be closed as DPW crews cleaned up the area.

One of the vehicles damaged belonged to Marc Sogren, who told 7NEWS his Mercedes was splashed when the truck appeared to hit its brakes to avoid a slowing car in front of him.

“He hit the brakes and then the (slurry) came over the top of the tractor-trailer and, I guess, landed everywhere across the street – it landed on my car and then two other cars that were next to me,” Sogren said.

Sogren said much to his surprise, the trucker took off after creating the mess.

“We tried to get his attention – he probably stopped, let’s say, 50 feet ahead, then he looked out the window, looked at us and then drove away,” he said.

After Sogren attempted multiple car washes, Whitman Bodyworks examined his car and determined there was thousands of dollars worth of damage, with the vehicle needing to be painted and its windshield replaced.

Meanwhile, police later shared images of what appeared to be the truck mid-spill, captured on surveillance video from local businesses.

Within a day, authorities were able to identify the trucking company that owned the vehicle and the driver.

“We got many tips right away, the community really assisted us very quickly – we had identification not even 24 hours later thanks to the help of our community,” said Abington Police Officer Ryan Doherty.

Police tracked down the company and spoke with the 36-year-old driver from Revere, who Doherty said was cooperative.

“He was cooperative, forthcoming – he did pull over, but unfortunately, he didn’t stop and identify himself as required by law,” the officer said.

According to authorities, the truck driver was expected to be summonsed to court for various charges, including leaving the scene of an accident with property damage.

Crews responding to a reported fire in a tripe-decker on Dever Street around 2 a.m. found the truck too close to a hydrant for them to access it and they had to use a hydrant from the adjacent street, according to a post on the Boston Fire Department’s X account.

The driver of the trick was ticketed.

There were no reported injuries in the fire, which caused an estimated $250,000 in damage.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

The FAA told 7NEWS that at least four instances involving a green laser had been reported since Monday morning, with the latest coming in on Tuesday.

“The flight crew of Alaska Airlines Flight 836 reported being illuminated by a green laser near Boston around 5:10 a.m. local time on Tuesday, Nov. 14,” the FAA stated in an email. “Local authorities were notified. The FAA will investigate.”

In addition to the Alaska Airlines flight, three other air crews reported a similar incident happening to them on Monday, with reports coming in around 5:40 a.m.

Investigators did not say where the light seemed to be coming from. 

The incidents come less than two months after a green laser flashed two JetBlue flights around 5:40 a.m. on Sept. 14.

According to the FAA, laser strikes reported to the administration have been on the rise in recent years, with close to 9,500 happening in 2022 alone.

Federal data on Tuesday showed 20 laser strikes reported in Massachusetts so far this year.

Aviation Safety Expert Capt. J.F. Joseph spoke to 7NEWS after this week’s laser strikes, saying he experienced two such strikes during his many years in the cockpit. 

While he was fortunate to not make direct eye contact with the blinding light, both incidents happened during landing, which could have been catastrophic. 

“Just seeing the laser flash, that was sufficient to put the crew on alert and focus inside the airplane at that point,” Joseph said. 

“I think most people simply don’t realize how dangerous it is and what the consequences could be,” Joseph continued. 

Because a laser strike can incapacitate a pilot, those caught flashing lasers at planes face potential jail time. 

Individuals can also be fined up to $11,000 per incident and up to $30,800 for multiple laser incidents. 

Despite the FAA taking laser strikes extremely seriously, Joseph said there is little pilots can do about the problem.

“You try to shield your eyes and avoid the area the threat’s been reported in,” he said.

Pilots are required to report laser strikes. Members of the public are urged to report such incidents, as well.

As many as four communities had once been in the mix to fill a single open slot in the program, but only Northampton and Somerville submitted official applications by the Friday deadline, according to the state Department of Energy Resources.

That means that neither Salem nor Boston will join the 10-municipality pilot program, despite each city previously approving a home rule petition seeking state permission to curb the use of fossil fuels locally.

It’s an about-face for Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, who as recently as July 31 said her city was still hoping to join the program and needed state support to achieve Boston’s full climate goals.

Wu told the Boston Globe she decided not to submit a formal application because she received “clear indications that Boston would not be chosen for the one available spot.”

The shift also reduces pressure on Gov. Maura Healey’s administration, who gets to decide which “substitute community” will fill the final slot in the pilot program following West Tisbury’s withdrawal. Had officials selected Boston as the 10th community, they would have more than doubled the number of Massachusetts residents who live in participating cities and towns.

Lawmakers approved the pilot program in a 2022 clean energy law, aiming to get a better sense of the impacts of restricting fossil fuels in construction and major renovation. Buildings contributed about 35 percent of Massachusetts greenhouse gas emissions in 2020, the second-largest share of any individual sector.

The crash happened Monday afternoon at the intersection of Highland Avenue and Wentworth Avenue. 

Soon flying over the scene, SKY7-HD spotted some of the aftermath, with one car appearing to have crashed into two parked cars. One car’s wheel was ripped off.

The MBTA Transit Police Department said the injuries related to this crash were non-life-threatening. 

In total, three cars were involved in the crash, in addition to the bus. 

Malden police and fire personnel ultimately responded to the scene alongside transit police officers.

Officials on Monday said they would be talking to the bus driver and reviewing surveillance video from the bus as their investigation continued.

SKY7-HD was overhead when students left class around 11:30 a.m. Students were then seen gathering in a grassy area. 

Students said they were gathering in response to the arrests on Friday. The arrests, in turn, happened while students were protesting Brandeis’ recent decision to ban a pro-Palestinian group. 

Waltham police in a statement said Brandeis University Police asked for their help around 3:30 p.m. Friday “after a demonstration on their campus became unruly.”

Police said they ultimately made arrests after university police issued dispersal orders and after several participants refused to cooperate.

Waltham police said initial charges included disorderly conduct, unlawful assembly and assault and battery on a police officer. 

The seven people arrested on Friday appeared in court on Monday where they pleaded not guilty to charges against them. The individuals were subsequently released on personal recognizance.

Back at Brandeis on Monday, students said it is an uncertain time on campus. 

“We’ve seen universities limiting free speech and we’ve also seen people being arrested for exercising their free speech rights,” one student said.

“There’s no secret that Jews are being targeted on campuses across this country,” another student said. “So, it’s scary.”

Officers executing a search warrant in the area of 111 Homestead St. around 12 p.m. found 95 grams of fentanyl, 237 grams of crack cocaine, 67 various pills, 6 plastic bags of marijuana, and more than $4,000 in cash, along with a Sig Sauer P365 with 11 rounds in the magazine, according to Boston police.

Keon Leary, 44, of Boston, and Christopher Brown, 56, of Roxbury were arrested as a result of the search.

Leary was arrested on charges of trafficking Class A, trafficking Class B, unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, unlawful possession of a large capacity feeding device, possession with intent to distribute Class B, possession with intent to distribute Class C, and possession with intent to distribute Class D.

Brown was arrested on charges of trafficking Class A, trafficking Class B, possession with intent to distribute Class B, possession with intent to distribute Class C, and possession with intent to distribute Class D.

Both are expected to be arraigned in Roxbury District Court.

In Quincy, dozens of people came together for a parade and ceremony. In Boston, people gathered at the memorial to the 65th Infantry, which honors the country’s first Puerto Rican regiment.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said, “And so today and every day we honor those who have made the very difficult decision to serve and take on the heaviest of charges to make sure our communities will always be free and always be safe.”
