-- A 17-year-old boy was shot to death in broad daylight outside a home at 70 Tonawanda St. in Dorchester. A neighbor said that the shooter fled in a silver SUV, but no arrests have been made and no motives have been advanced in the killing. [BPDNews, Herald]

Patch saying "Now that they've gotten a taste of Revere Beach, I'm afraid they're going to come often." The reader is left to speculate whom Patch meant by "they." The MBTA has rebuffed Revere's hysterical pleas to install metal detectors at the Revere Beach T station. [Herald]
