According to the Herald, "A school employee notified the Herald about the practice after seeing two teenagers firing weapons at targets without supervision or warning signs in a locked classroom in early December."

On Thursday, Bostonist joined a bunch of tired people in a red line car, and a guy hopped on and started shouting. We rolled our eyes at each other and looked uncomfortable because we figured he was either there to make trouble or sell candy bars for a dubious charity. But he had a surprise.

On Thursday in Roxbury, a 13-year-old suffered a case of hormones from hell. She was, according to the report, "swearing and throwing objects" at her own mother, and she kept on with that behavior when the police arrived at the scene.

Bostonist heard about the menacing incident on Marlborough Street between Fairfield and Gloucester. On Thursday, March 24 at 1 pm, a woman was screaming because she had been attacked. She was visiting from New York and was unloading her car. With a 5 month-old in tow and her purse on the trunk, a man approached to snatch her purse. She tried to grab it but he got it and when she went for her kid he slugged her in the chest. On the ground, the thug brandished a huge ginsu knife and took off.
