More weapons have been found in the schools. After a false fire alarm, Hyde Park High School staff discovered a gun inside a backpack after a student walked back inside and set off a metal detector.
The gun was loaded with hollow-point bullets which "are designed to cause more damage to soft tissue by 'mushrooming' upon impact." Episodes like these make us have the depressing thought that high schools should just get it over with and convert themselves into prisons.
Hyde Park has several divisions. This incident took place in the Social Justice Academy, which leads to the question – is there "Social Justice" if a student feels like he needs to carry a gun?
A woman's burned body was found in Wilmington. Her identity hasn't been released, but police are looking for the killer. Police were called to a brush fire, but they found a burning body instead.
In another unfortunate incident involving flames, a man performing maintenance on a fire extinguisher in a Holyoke McDonalds was burned after a part of the fire extinguisher wound up in a fryer. Yes, it's tempting to make a tasteless joke about French Fries, but we feel too bad for the guy.
But we can make a French-fry joke with the next story! The BPD was so close to a good headline. Two dudes got caught in a drug deal in a McDonald's parking lot. They titled the post "Special Delivery," but of course the post must be called "Would You Like Fries With That?" Ba-boom-CHING!
