📰 News we're reading

• Inquest clears police officers in fatal Aug. 21 shooting in Cambridge, with body camera footage playing a role - Cambridge (csindie.com) — A court inquest has ruled that Cambridge officers were justified in the August 21 shooting of William Woodworth, a 64-year-old Watertown resident, after he pointed a gun at police. The report, based heavily on body camera footage, closes the criminal inquiry but may still prompt internal review in Cambridge and raises ongoing questions for Watertown neighbors about policing, mental health, and regional gun-violence responses.
