Today's Top Headlines

Saturday, April 4

Good morning Wypierdalaj,

We'll see our warmest temperatures this morning with a steady slide downward in the afternoon, but the wet weather should hold off until Easter. We're also following the latest on a new security policy at Tewksbury Hospital, a fox attack in Worcester, and the opening of Boston's first zero-proof bar. I'm Kaitlin McKinley Becker, and these are your headlines. Have a great weekend, everyone!

A new policy at a Massachusetts-run hospital has nurses fearing for their safety and elected officials scrambling to help them.

The security team at Tewksbury Hospital — which has received an influx of forensic patients involved or accused in criminal activity — was informed Thursday that it can’t carry or use defensive tactical weapons.

“I love the patients I serve,” said Ryan Wilkins, a nurse at the hospital.

A woman is recovering after being attacked by a fox Friday morning in Worcester, Massachusetts. The frightening encounter was caught on camera.

Worcester police say it happened around 7:15 a.m. on Esther Street. They believe it was the same fox spotted several hours before in an area nearby.

Bettyann Koskie lives across the street. She still can’t believe how it all unfolded.

Today’s another one of those backward weather days.

Our warmest temperatures will be found in the morning, with a steady slide downward in the afternoon. Yep, it’s another back-door cold front, and the northeast wind will make it flat-out cold by evening.

Early highs make the mid-50s, but late day temps will fall to the low 40s (or even upper 30s in some spots).

A few months ago, it was reported that a neighborhood restaurant in Jamaica Plain known for its locally-sourced New American fare would be closing and the owner would be opening a new concept within the space, and now we have learned more about what it will be.

According to a Facebook post, Beyond Proof is planning to open in the former Ten Tables space on Centre Street, with owner Krista Kranyak saying the following:

The Roman Catholic Church is seeing a considerable increase in people joining and attending.

It is something local Catholic houses of worship are celebrating going into Easter Weekend.

Church attendance is always higher on Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday and Easter, according to the archdiocese, but local priests say they are seeing those higher numbers stick around all year.

Newly-released court documents alleged a pattern of negligence and omissions in the training of Enrique Delgado-Garcia, a state police cadet who died after boxing exercises at the Massachusetts State Police Academy.

Investigators said they interviewed 150 witnesses and reviewed more than 300 pieces of evidence. Prosecutors argued the findings showed a series of failures leading up to the 25-year-old’s death and in the moments afterward.

According to prosecutors, Delgado-Garcia participated in multiple boxing matches in September 2024. One training session was not supposed to include boxing, but he sparred with another trainee and later complained of memory loss, headaches and other concussion-like symptoms.
