Video captures moment floodwaters carried car away in Leominster

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:16:03 GMT

New video shows the moment a car was carried away by floodwaters in Leominster earlier this week as heavy rain triggered flash flooding across the city and its surrounding communities. 7NEWS recently spoke with the owner of the car, who said he watched the scene unfold Monday night behind their multi-family home off Central Street. “It’s devastating,” said Leominster resident Moses Dejene. “I’m still absorbing this.” Dejene said water started pooling in his parking lot Monday evening. As time went on, he said, the asphalt bucked, creating a huge crater. The water then broke through Dejene’s fence, taking his car with it. “I’ve never seen anything like this before and it’s unfortunate,” he said. The car was swept away until it stopped in a creek more than a hundred feet from Dejene’s parking lot. On Wednesday, Dejene was still in disbelief about the car and other damage, including a sinkhole near his home. “It’s a huge concern,” he said. “I act...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:16:03 GMT

Gov. Maura Healey filed a $2.1 billion gross spending bill Wednesday that closes out the books on fiscal year 2023 and includes $250 million for the state’s emergency shelter system, which officials say is in crisis mode after an influx of migrants and surging housing costs.Healey proposed transferring the $250 million in “one-time resources” for shelters from an transitional escrow account to  “cover the ongoing cost of providing safe, temporary shelter to thousands of families in need,” the governor said in a statement. The proposed spending comes after Healey said the shelter crisis was costing the state about $45 million a month.Emergency assistance shelter is for families with children or pregnant women who are experiencing homelessness, including newly arrived migrant families and locals. The administration has turned to a string of motels and hotels in municipalities across the state to expand shelter capacity.Healey called on the federal government fo...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:16:03 GMT

The brother, as well as another man, of the teen who drowned in the pool of retired State Police captain James Coughlin were charged with beating him after a judge handed down a sentence that kept him out of jail.Roshawn Drane, 38, and Denzell Rowell, 32, both of Dedham, each appeared in Dedham District Court Wednesday afternoon to face charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon — their shod feet — following an alleged melee on the road in front of the same court on Monday. The court entered not guilty pleas for both men.Judge Michael J. Pomarole imposed bails of $2,500 each, revoking bail in the same amount for Drane from an earlier case on which he was on release in an earlier case. Pomarole set conditions of release that include staying out of Dedham, to be enforced by GPS monitoring, and to have no contact with victims or witnesses.It’s not clear if the two men will be the only ones charged, as the police reports and summaries of witness statements indicate that ther...

By MARYCLAIRE DALE, MARC LEVY and MICHAEL RUBINKAM (Associated Press)POTTSTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A murderer who brazenly escaped from a Pennsylvania jail was captured Wednesday in the woods by a team of tactical officers, bringing an end to an intensive search that terrified residents as the fugitive broke into homes for food, changed his appearance and stole a van and rifle during two weeks on the run.Law enforcement’s big break came overnight as a plane fitted with a thermal imaging camera picked up Danelo Souza Cavalcante’s heat signal, allowing teams on the ground to secure the area, surround him and move in with search dogs.“They were able to move in very quietly. They had the element of surprise,” Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col.

Tech industry leaders endorse regulating artificial intelligence at rare summit in Washington

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:16:03 GMT

By MARY CLARE JALONICK and MATT O’BRIEN (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation’s biggest technology executives on Wednesday loosely endorsed the idea of government regulations for artificial intelligence at an unusual closed-door meeting in the U.S. Senate. But there is little consensus on what regulation would look like, and the political path for legislation is difficult. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who organized the private forum on Capitol Hill as part of a push to legislate artificial intelligence, said he asked everyone in the room — including almost two dozen tech executives, advocates and skeptics — whether government should have a role in the oversight of artificial intelligence, and “every single person raised their hands, even though they had diverse views,” he said.Among the ideas discussed was whether there should be an independent agency to oversee certain aspects of the rapidly-developing technology, how comp...
