The Winter Hill Community Innovation School in Somerville has been closed for the remainder of the school year after a section of concrete fell into a stairwell inside the building, school and city officials said. While engineers were set to “conduct a more thorough review of the building,” many parents, children and teachers gathered elsewhere at the Somerville Public Library where they discussed the situation and ongoing concerns about building conditions at the Winter Hill School. Officials said the concrete fell outside school operating hours, while the school was unoccupied. The Winter Hill School serves about 400 students in kindergarten through eighth grade.

Police in Massachusetts are investigating the death of the son and grandson of former Boston Red Sox player George “Boomer” Scott, who were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.Police were called to the home of George Scott III and his son, 8-year-old Dante Hazard, after a relative requested a welfare check, CNN reported. Inside they found the two bodies.Just over two weeks earlier, police had searched the home for clues to the 2019 disappearance of Lisa Hazard, Dante’s mother. Scott was considered a person of interest in that unsolved case, according to The Boston Globe.“It appears from the evidence recovered at the scene to be a murder-suicide. Mr. Scott appears to have killed the boy with a sharp object before taking his own life,” the office of Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn III said in a statement obtained by Boston CBS affiliate WBZ.Lisa Hazard disappeared at age 28 when she set out for a drug rehabilitation center and never arr...Vladimir Guerrero Jr’s ninth-inning double gives Blue Jays win over Mets

The Mets weren’t able to carry over the joy and excitement of Saturday’s Hall of Fame induction after losing its second straight game, 2-1, to the Toronto Blue Jays.Immediately after Blue Jays manager John Schneider was ejected for arguing a strike call, Vladimir Guerrero Jr’s RBI double gave Toronto the go-ahead run that led to a win.Manager Buck Showalter said he trusted reliever David Robertson to get Guerrero out to end the inning. The manager said he “considered” walking the slugger with Cavan Biggio on deck, who entered Saturday with a .181 batting average.Robertson was ahead, 1-2, in the count but the two-time All-Star reached over to hit a grounder past a diving Bretty Baty at third base.“Just trusted Robbie there,” the manager said postgame. He later went on to say “I just have a lot of confidence in him once he got ahead there … just got a firm ground ball hit where we couldn’t catch it.”Robertson said postg...North Korean leader’s sister vows 2nd attempt to launch spy satellite, slams UN meeting

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed again Sunday to push for a second attempt to launch a spy satellite as she lambasted a U.N. Security Council meeting over the North’s first, failed launch.The North’s attempt to put its first military spy satellite into orbit last Wednesday failed as its rocket crashed off the Korean Peninsula’s western coast. An emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council was still convened at the request of the U.S., Japan and other countries to discuss the launch because it had violated council resolutions banning the North from performing any launch using ballistic technology.On Sunday, Kim’s sister and senior ruling party official, Kim Yo Jong, called the U.N. council “a political appendage” of the United States, saying its recent meeting was convened following America’s “gangster-like request.”She accused the U.N. council of being “discriminative and rude” because it only takes issue with the Nor...Florida woman charged with child neglect after her car catches fire as she was allegedly shoplifting
