Speaker 1

This is WBZ, Boston's news radio re defining local news. Sixty five degrees in Boston right now. It's beautiful outside. We have a couple of stray clouds. That's about it. Full forecast coming up in just a few minutes. Good morning, I'm Nicole Davis. Here's what's happening. It's been a tense morning and the Karen Reid murder retrial in Denham. I'm not exactly sure what else there is for me to say when the one thing that they want to understand

it is actually not correct. That is Kelly Dever. She's a former Canton police officer who right now works for the Boston Police. She previously said she saw Brian Higgins and the Canton Police chief spend a long time amount of time in the Canton Police sally Port. She has since recanted that statement. Court is now in morning recess. WBC's Emma Friedman will have more coming up in the news at eleven fifteen. Now to Milford at eleven oh one.

A community is searching for answers after a high schooler was arrested over the weekend by Ice agents. Arresting eighteen year old Marcelo Gomes while he was on his way to volleyball practice, a judge issuing an order for Ice to keep him in Massachusetts for at least the next few days. Milford High volleyball coach Andrew Menani says the community has been rocked by gomes arrest.

Speaker 2

Everyone I've talked to today it's been like, he's such a good person, we just don't understand. He's such a good friend. We just don't understand. And you know, it's going to affect the way the community moves forward too. We have a lot of other immigrants within our community who I'm I'm sure are going to be shook from the situation.

Speaker 1

Hundreds rallying outside the town hall yesterday calling for Gomes to be released. Students are planning a walk out at the high school this afternoon. We have video of yesterday's march on our Instagram. You can see it at WBZ News Radio at eleven oh two. Mohammed Sabury Solomon, the suspect in yesterday's fiery attack in Boulder, Colorado, against a peaceful rally, is doing court this afternoon. CBS's Jason Allen has more in the charges he faces.

Speaker 3

The online booking information for him. The charges that he's being held on show that there is a charge there of first degree murder with extreme indifference. Now, authorities here have not announced any deaths officially yet in this case, but we know that there were eight people who were injured, and at least one of them, authority said last night, could be considered to be in very critical condition.

Speaker 1

Solomon is accused of throwing molotov cocktails into a crowd and also using a makeshift flamethrower to injure people in that crowd. The crowd who had been gathered to raise awareness about Israeli hostages in Gaza and Pride Month celebrations getting underway today in Boston. This hour, around eleven forty five, the LGBTQ Pride Flag is set to be raised over

City Hall Plaza. Then around one o'clock, Boston Pride for the People, the MOLA Partner Network and the City of Boston are celebrating in the courtyard right outside City Hall with music and snacks. Now later this week, on Wednesday morning, dozens of local LGBTQIA groups are coming together on City Hall pla laza. They'll be holding a Pride rally. City councilor Henry Santana leading that and this year's Pride Parade is set for Saturday, June fourteenth in Boston. That is

set to be held rain or shine. For the rest of the day, the forecast is looking pretty good. We've got temperatures in the sixties across the board. Could be a little bit cooler in southeastern Mass today, but we have a high about seventy. Don't be surprised by the way if you look outside, or if you walk outside and you notice that the air looks a little bit hazy or the sun looks a little bit milky. We

have that smoke coming in from the Canadian wildfires. Should be staying pretty high up in the atmosphere, so I shouldn't give us too much in the way of air quality problems today, but we'll keep an eye on that for you. For tonight, clear skies, low near fifty five. For Tomorrow, lots of sun, hazy at times again, a high year seventy five. Wednesday, hazy sum with a few clouds, warmer with a high in the low eighties, a little bit cooler in southeastern Mass in the mid seventies. Then

Thursday is our hot spot. For the week. We've got a high in the upper eighties pushing ninety inland sunshine to start, but we have enough storm in spots, only getting up to about the upper seventies though on the Capean Islands, so you are going to be staying a little more moderate when it comes to temperatures. Sixty four degrees on the Cape right now in Chatham where it's sixty one in Lemonster, sixty one degrees at Hampton Beach in New Hampshire, and in Boston at eleven oh six

Partley cloudy and sixty five degrees. We have one rough weekend on the Pike down but we have another to gos. We hear from wbz's Jay will Lette.

Speaker 4

I'd it go for you traveling east or west this past weekend, As predicted, nightmare commutes on both sides of the mass Pike all weekend long at the one twenty eight interchanges. Masstop begins a bridge replacement and maintenance project, and as expected, Cruise are out of the way in

time for this morning's drive. Massed out administrator Jonathan Gulliver tells WBZ News Radio work cruise will again disrupt our weekend plans beginning later this month June twentieth, with again just one lane in each direction, and again with the promise that they'll be gone by Monday morning, June twenty third's commute. This, of course, is for the Newton w Bridge replacement and rehabilitation. Jay Willett WBZ, Boston's news Radio.

Speaker 1

A very rare lobster recently showed up at a legendary Boston seafood restaurant. Good news, it will not be part of a lobster mac and cheese or your next lobster roll.

Speaker 5

Leave it up to the Union Oyster House in Boston to find this rare sea crustation. As right now in their lobster tanks they have a giant orange lobster, certainly begetting a lot of questions and comments from customers. It's once in a blue moon you will see an off color lobster. The orange shell is caused by a genetic defect impacting one in every thirty million lobsters. Well, the Oyster House isn't boiling this one up and dipping it in butter. Rather, they'll be donating it to the aquarium

this week. Jim mckaw Besney Boston's News Radio.

Speaker 1

Old McDonald had a farm, of course, and if you want one, you can get one too, with no fees attached. The freest farm you'll ever get the MSBCA. Evan's Farm is holding an adoptathon. They have dozens of farm animals who need a new home and to try to get them to their new homes quickly. They're waiving all the adoption fees as comes after. Back in April, almost one hundred and fifty pigs, goats, chickens, geese, ducks, dogs, donkeys, cattle, and horses were all rescued from one property out there

in Franklin County. Since then, some of the animals have given birth, So yeah, they're definitely running out of space over at Evan's Farm. They're kind of bursting at the gills. They need your help. They're hoping to have one hundred and twenty of the more than three hundred animals on the farm adopted out by the end of the weekend. You are now in the loop for news updates throughout the day.
