A 23-year-old Dartmouth man is in serious condition after police shot him as he allegedly charged them with a knife. Officers first tried to use a stun gun but the non-lethal weapon did not stop Ryan Kuphal as he threatened police.

Dave Canton | dcanton@repub.com 

WCVB-TV reported that the Bristol District Attorney's Office said that police were dispatched to Kuphal's home address for a reported violent domestic situation at approximately 4 p.m. Sunday. However, before police arrived at the Dartmouth Street home, Kuphal left in his mother's car.

Police caught up with the suspect on Bush Street in Dartmouth. There, officers said Kuphal charged them as he brandished a knife. One officer deployed his stun gun but it failed to stop Kuphal. A second officer fired his weapon, hitting Kuphal once.

The incident is being investigated by the District Attorney's Office and the Massachusetts State Police.

A co-owner of The Hub, a North Adams restaurant, was arraigned on drug possession with the intent to sell charges Friday after investigators arrested him and a passenger following a traffic stop. Matthew Schilling of North Adams and Scott Kastner of New Hampshire were allegedly found to be carrying heroin and other hard drugs when police stopped them Wednesday.

Dave Canton | dcanton@repub.com 

The Berkshire Eagle reported that Matthew Schilling, 45, a co-owner of The Hub restaurant on Main Street in North Adams, was arrested after North Adams detectives stopped his pickup truck and found heroin, crack cocaine, diazepam and lorazepam in the vehicle packaged for sale.

A passenger in the truck, 33-year-old Scott Kastner of Manchester, NH was arrested on a charge of possession of a Class B substance, after police said they found a quantity of powdered cocaine on his person.

North Adams police said the arrests came after a "several month investigation into the distribution of illegal narcotics in the North Adams area."

The Berkshire County Drug Task Force also took party in the investigation.

The Eagle said available documentation about the arrest did not indicate the exact amounts of drugs seized, nor the exact place and time of the traffic stop when the two were arrested.

Schilling entered pleas of not guilty to charges of possession of Class A, B and C with the intent to distribute when he was arraigned in Central Berkshire District Court Friday.

Kastner denied a charge of possession of a Class B substance.

Police on both sides of the Massachusetts and Vermont border are searching for a man they believe held up two stores, one in Williamstown and the other in Pownal while showing a handgun.

 

In Williamstown, a man standing 6-feet tall and wearing dark clothing, a camouflage hat and face mask and brandishing a dark handgun, tried to stick up the Spirit Shop at 280 Cole Ave. At about 8:20 p.m.

The robber pointed the gun at the clerk and demanded money. But, after a brief argument with the clerk, the robber ran out the door without taking anything.

About two hours later, a man with the same description entered the Stewarts Shop convenience store in Pownal, showed the handgun and demanded cash. He fled the store on foot with an undisclosed amount of money.

State and local police on both sides of the border are searching for a white male in his 30s, standing 5-foot,11-inches to 6-feet tall, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and dark pants. The robber wore a camouflage hat and face mask in both robberies.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Sgt. Scot McGowan at the Williamstown Police Department at 413-458-5733. In Vermont, contact the Vermont State Police in Shaftsbury at 802-442-5421.

The U.S. Justice Department cannot force Apple to provide the FBI with access to a locked iPhone data in a routine Brooklyn drug case, a magistrate judge ruled Monday.

NEW YORK -- The U.S. Justice Department cannot force Apple to provide the FBI with access to a locked iPhone data in a routine Brooklyn drug case, a magistrate judge ruled Monday.

U.S. Magistrate Judge James Orenstein's written decision gives support to the company's position in its fight against a California judge's order that it create specialized software to help the FBI hack into an iPhone linked to the San Bernardino terrorism investigation. Apple's filing to oppose the order by Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym in California is due by Friday.

The San Bernardino County-owned iPhone 5C was used by Syed Farook, who was a health inspector. He and his wife Tashfeen Malik killed 14 people during a Dec. 2 attack that was at least partly inspired by the Islamic State group.

Apple's opposition to the government's tactics has evoked a national debate over digital privacy rights and national security.

Orenstein concluded that Apple is not obligated to assist government investigators against its will and noted that Congress has not adopted legislation that would achieve the result sought by the government.

"How best to balance those interests is a matter of critical importance to our society, and the need for an answer becomes more pressing daily, as the tide of technological advance flows ever farther past the boundaries of what seemed possible even a few decades ago," Orenstein wrote. "But that debate must happen today, and it must take place among legislators who are equipped to consider the technological and cultural realities of a world their predecessors could not begin to conceive."

A Justice Department spokesman said they were disappointed in the ruling and planned to appeal in the coming days. Apple and their attorneys said they were reading opinion and will comment later.

In October, Orenstein invited Apple to challenge the government's use of a 227-year-old law to compel Apple to help it recover iPhone data in criminal cases.

The Cupertino, California-based computer maker did, saying in court papers that extracting information from an iPhone "could threaten the trust between Apple and its customers and substantially tarnish the Apple brand."

It followed up by declining to cooperate in a dozen more instances in four states involving government requests to aid criminal probes by retrieving data from individual iPhones.

Federal prosecutors say Apple has stopped short of challenging court orders judicially, except in the cases before Orenstein and the California jurist who ruled about the San Bernardino shooter's phone.

"Ultimately, the question to be answered in this matter, and in others like it across the country, is not whether the government should be able to force Apple to help it unlock a specific device; it is instead whether the All Writs Act resolves that issue and many others like it yet to come," Orenstein wrote. "For the reasons set forth above, I conclude that it does not."

As Super Tuesday shapes up to be a tight Democratic contest, Hillary Clinton supporters stress her qualifications, while Bernie Sanders supporters like his passion.

BOSTON -- Nicholas Thilo-McGovern, a 19-year-old Emerson College student from Cambridge, started the campaign season as a Bernie Sanders supporter.

"I was feeling the Bern and everything," Thilo-McGovern said, echoing a Sanders slogan.

But a few weeks ago, Thilo-McGovern decided to vote for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential primary. He got turned off by Sanders calling Planned Parenthood "part of the establishment" and by the anger he saw in Sanders supporters.

"I started to move out of my Bernie bubble I was in in college," Thilo-McGovern said. "As I started to learn more about Clinton, I realized she really is a much more qualified candidate to be president."

Thilo-McGovern likes Clinton's foreign policy experience and her stance on gun laws. He added that the two candidates are similar. "They agree on 93 percent of the issues," Thilo-McGovern said.

As Massachusetts voters head to the polls on Tuesday to vote for their parties' presidential nominees, the Democratic contest between Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, and Clinton, a former secretary of state, U.S. senator, and first lady, is shaping up to be a close one.

On the Republican side, polls show businessman Donald Trump with a huge lead in Massachusetts. Most of the Republicans are not putting serious effort into the Democratic-leaning state. Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who has performed poorly in three of four nominating contests so far and is counting on a strong showing in Massachusetts to remain viable, is the only Republican who campaigned in Massachusetts in the last week.

But for Clinton and Sanders, Massachusetts is important. It is one of Sanders' strongest states of the 11 states that vote on Tuesday. Recent polls show Clinton with only a slight lead, sometimes within the margin of error. Both Clinton and Sanders held campaign rallies in Massachusetts on Monday, and Clinton's husband, former president Bill Clinton, is holding a rally Monday night in Worcester.

Clinton supporters interviewed Monday praised their candidate's experience and qualifications for the presidency. Sanders supporters liked his truthfulness and passion.

"I like his passion, I like his message, I like his realness," said Jean Zarrillo, 69, an independent voter and retiree from Avon, who is supporting Sanders.

"I like Hillary too, but I just think she's a politician. I think we're all done with the politicians," Zarrillo said.

Michaela Boyer, 24, a Salem Democrat who works in a restaurant, said she likes Sanders' support for people like her who have student debt and have difficulty finding jobs even with an undergraduate degree. "He's for the people and he's genuine," Boyer said. "I love that he is taking money away from billionaires to help support more of the middle to lower class."

Boyer said she believes Clinton is "a puppet" to her campaign funders. "Her stance has changed in a lot of different areas, and I want somebody who has been true to themselves and true to what they believe in since the very beginning," Boyer said.

Andy Tamulynas, 33, a Democratic web designer from Milton, trusts Sanders more than Clinton. "I like that he's honest. It's refreshing," Tamulynas said. "I like that he's not beholden to anybody."

Tamulynas said Sanders has been consistent on issues such as campaign finance, equality and climate change. Clinton, he feels, "has sort of been on the line about things depending on who's watching her, who's listening to her."

Similarly, Jeremy Taylor, 25, a Democratic teacher from Southborough, trusts Sanders more than Clinton - although he would vote for Clinton if she wins the Democratic nomination. "I think he tells the truth," Taylor said.

Clinton supporters tended to stress Clinton's resume.

"I just believe that she is probably one of the most qualified people ever to run for this position," said Jennifer Glass, 50, a Democrat from Lincoln.

Chrissie Himes, 31, a Waltham lawyer for a non-profit and a Democrat, said Clinton has more potential to be a world leader than Sanders. "I think she really cares about issues like Planned Parenthood, issues like the water crisis in various parts of the country, the economic problems of the country, and also I think she's very strong on foreign policy," Himes said. "Sanders has really great thoughts on the economy, and I believe in that. But I haven't heard him say anything really strong about the foreign policy issues."

Joshua Romero, 22, a Democratic college student in Boston, said Clinton has more specific proposals on immigration, energy and college affordability. "Her policies are more specific than Sanders' or any of the Republicans," Romero said.

Martha Brest, 57, a Boston retiree and independent voter, likes that Clinton is more moderate than Sanders. "I think some of his ideas are good ones, but he's unrealistic about what he can accomplish," Brest said. "It will be very hard for him to get any of his ideas passed."

The apparently partially collapsed building is a red brick former National Guard armory on Sargeant Street near Pine Street in Holyoke. Watch video

An updated story with additional detail including a photo gallery has been published at 9:51 p.m. Monday, Feb. 29, 2016: Emergency demolition in Holyoke set for rear wall of armory that partially collapsed

HOLYOKE -- Part of a wall at the former National Guard Armory at 163 Sargeant St. collapsed Monday and emergency crews are on the scene, Mayor Alex B. Morse said.

"It appears the back side collapsed to some extent. The building commissioner is there now,' Morse said in a text message, referring to Building Commission Damian Cote.

The armory was built in 1907 and had and big hole in a side and has been "bleeding bricks," Historical Commission Chairwoman Olivia Mausel has said about the building at Sargeant and Pine streets.

This is a developing story and details will be added as reporting continues.

A 14-year-old boy reportedly walked into the cafeteria at a junior-senior high school school about 30 miles north of Cincinatti and started firing.

Four students were injured after a 14-year-old boy opened fire in a school cafeteria in Ohio late Monday morning.

According to CNN, the alleged shooter was taken into custody.

Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said two of the victims were shot. The other two were hurt "either by shrapnel from the handgun or by injuries getting away from the active shooter," he said.

All are expected to survive, he said.

The shooter was indentified as James Austin Hancock.

Police said Hancock faces charges of attempted murder, felonious assault, inducing panic and making terrorist threats. Jones said Hancock was taken into custody outside of the school.

ABC News reported that Hancock walked into the lunchroom at Madison Junior-Senior High School in Middletown, and started shooting.

The suspect ran out of the cafeteria and up the hill in front of the school building after the shooting, Jones said at a news conference this afternoon.

The suspect allegedly abandoned his gun as he ran and then was apprehended on top of the hill while still on school grounds, Jones said.

NBC News reported that Madison Junior-Senior High School has 1,600 students in the seventh through 12th grades.

CBS News reported that all other students at the school, roughly 30 miles north of Cincinnati, were safe.

Two medical helicopters reportedly responded to the scene.

A motive for the shooting was not immediately clear.

With just hours left before Massachusetts voters weigh-in on the 2016 presidential primary contests, Democratic rivals Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders remain in a dead heat, a new poll has found.

SPRINGFIELD — With just hours left before Massachusetts voters weigh in on the 2016 presidential primary contests, Democratic rivals Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders remain in a dead heat, a new poll has found.

A UMass Amherst / WBZ survey released late Monday found the former secretary of state and Vermont senator essentially tied with a respective 44 and 43 percent of the vote among likely Massachusetts primary voters.

While Democrats remain largely split over their party's candidates, Massachusetts Republicans overwhelmingly support businessman Donald Trump, who has tripled his lead over other GOP hopefuls, according to the poll results.

Although Clinton, who campaigned across the state Monday, is neck-and-neck with Sanders, her lead increases slightly to 47 percent when including responses from voters who said they are "leaning" toward supporting her, the poll found. Sanders, who also stopped in the Bay State on Monday, saw support increase to just 44 percent when including leaners.

Brian Schaffner, director of the UMass Amherst / WBZ Poll, called Massachusetts "a bellwether state for determining whether Sanders has staying power in this race.

"If he can't succeed here, then there aren't too many other states he can count on winning," Schaffner said, pointing to Massachusetts' demographics.

Sanders holds a 48 to 42 percent lead among men and 58 to 36 lead among voters aged 29 and younger, according to the survey. Clinton, meanwhile, holds a 50 to 41 percent lead among women and 56 to 42 percent lead among voters aged 30 to 44.

While the Democratic candidates are largely tied, nearly two-thirds of voters said they believe Clinton is most likely to win the Democratic Party's nomination.

On the other side of the race, Trump is poised to see a big victory in Massachusetts on "Super Tuesday."

Forty-six percent of likely Republican primary voters said they would back the businessman, compared to just 14 percent who would respectively support U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas.

About two-thirds of GOP voters, regardless of whom they support, meanwhile, said they believe Trump will win the party's nomination.

"Massachusetts Republicans are not like the rest of the GOP, but the popularity of Trump's positions are in such contrast to conventional GOP doctrine that the party leaders must be thinking 'counter-reformation' at this point, even if Trump does not get the nomination," said Ray La Raja, associate director of the UMass Amherst / WBZ Poll.

The poll, which surveyed nearly 900 likely Massachusetts primary voters, was conducted from Feb. 19 to 25 by YouGov. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 6.3 percent among Republican likely voters and 6.5 percent among likely Democratic voters.

Russian police on Monday arrested a woman who was seen waving the severed head of a small child outside a Moscow subway station.

MOSCOW (AP) -- Russian police on Monday arrested a woman who was seen waving the severed head of a small child outside a Moscow subway station. She is suspected of killing the child when it was in her care, officials said.

Videos posted on Russian news websites show a woman dressed all in black, holding the severed head and shouting "I am a terrorist" in Russian, although most of what she says is incomprehensible. In some of the videos the woman is tackled by men who appear to be police.

The Investigative Committee released a statement saying a woman was arrested Monday on suspicion of killing a child aged 3 or 4 in an apartment near the metro station in northwestern Moscow and then setting the apartment on fire. The woman, a 38-year-old native of one of the former Soviet republics in Central Asia, was believed to be the nanny and appeared to be mentally unstable, the statement said.

The official report said the child's body found in the apartment showed signs of a violent death. Russian news reports, citing law enforcement sources, said the child had been decapitated.

Investigators said they were trying to determine the suspect's motive. She appeared to have waited until the parents and an older child had left the apartment before killing the younger child, the statement said.

Springfield's election commissioner, Gladys Oyola, said she expects the city's voter turnout on Super Tuesday will be 15 percent, better than usual for a Presidential Primary.

SPRINGFIELD — Election Commissioner Gladys Oyola is predicting a 15 percent voter turnout for the presidential primary on Tuesday, saying that percentage would be higher than the typical turnout for such contests.

Gladys Oyola 

Oyola said she attributes the expected increase to voters' "enthusiasm over being able to cast a ballot for the candidate of their choice" in a highly publicized national contest.

"Twelve states will be voting (Tuesday), so the media attention has sparked increased local interest," Oyola said.

The Democratic ballot features Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. The Republican ballot includes Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Ted Cruz, and Ben Carson.

In the last presidential primary in 2012, voter turnout in Springfield was 5.61 percent, with Barack Obama being the sole candidate for president on the Democratic ballot, and Republican candidate and former state Gov. Mitt Romney being the highest vote-getter on the Republican ticket.

Romney received 57.7 percent of the Republican vote in Springfield followed by Rick Santorum with 22.6 percent and Ron Paul with 11.4 percent.

That was in sharp contrast to the prior presidential primary in 2008, when voter turnout in Springfield was 30 percent as the Democratic ballot featured a race pitting Obama and Clinton.

Obama was on his way to becoming the nation's first black president, but Clinton narrowly won Springfield by a margin of 10,695 to 10,025.

Presidential Republican candidate John Kasich staged a Town-Hall style rally at the MassMutual Center in Springfield Sunday where several hundred supporters gathered to meet and question the Ohio governor.Frederick J. Gore 

In the Republican primary in 2008, Mitt Romney came in first place in Springfield, with Sen. John McCain in second.

Oyola, in predicting 15 percent voter turnout on Tuesday, said she believes there is apathy among many voters regarding the primary process that causes people to choose not to vote.

"Some voters registered in a specific party have stated that they will not be voting because they cannot vote for a candidate from another party," Oyola said.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 123.47 points, or 0.7 percent, to 16,516.50.

By MARLEY JAY

NEW YORK -- Late-day selling sent U.S. stocks to a loss Monday and erased nearly all of the market's gains for the month. Weak earnings for drug companies pushed health care stocks lower, and energy shares fell as natural gas plunged.

Investors lost enthusiasm for stocks after two straight weekly gains. Health care stocks fell furthest as drugmakers Endo International, Mylan and Mallinckrodt all slumped. Oil prices rose, but natural gas hit a 17-year low. Banks lost ground, partly because investors are worried about potential losses on loans to energy companies.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 123.47 points, or 0.7 percent, to 16,516.50. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 15.82 points, or 0.8 percent, to 1,932.23. The Nasdaq composite index fell 32.52 points, or 0.7 percent, to 4,557.95.

Monday's loss pushed the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq to a loss for February, their third monthly loss in a row. The Dow eked out a gain of 0.3 percent for its first positive month since November.

John Manley, chief equity strategist for Wells Fargo Fund Management, said investors are nervous. "A lot of investors have fantastic profits from three or four years (of gains) and they also have terrible memories from seven or eight years ago," he said. "Why not sell first and ask questions later?"

The drug and medical device company Endo lost $11.13, or 21 percent, to $41.81 after the company said it will wind down its Astora women's health business and set aside $834 million to cover costs from possible product liability lawsuits over vaginal mesh implants, which have been linked to thousands of injuries.

Valeant Pharmaceuticals slid after the company withdrew its financial forecasts. The stock gave up $14.85, or 18.4 percent, to $65.80. Mallinckrodt declined $4.21, or 6.1 percent, to $65.03.

With stocks on shaky ground, precious metals prices improved. The price of gold has climbed nearly 11 percent this month. Gold is seen as a safe investment when the market gets rough, and Steven Dunn, the head of ETF Securities' U.S. division, said investors are now more worried about the global markets than they have been in several years.

"When there is turmoil in the world, people do come back to gold as sort of that safe port," he said.

The price of gold rose 1 percent Monday to $1,234.40 an ounce. Over the last two weeks gold has traded near it highest price in a year.

Benchmark U.S. crude oil rose 97 cents, or 3 percent, to $33.75 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, the global benchmark, gained 87 cents, or 2.5 percent, to $35.97 a barrel in London.

Natural gas prices skidded 4 percent to $1.71 per 1,000 cubic feet, its lowest level since March of 1999. In a research note, Commodity Weather Group said it expects a "super warm pattern" to start in about a week. That will lead to less demand for heat as the winter comes to a close.

In other energy trading, wholesale gasoline rose 3 cents to $1.05 a gallon and heating oil rose 2 cents to $1.08 a gallon.

Global stocks were mixed.

Policymakers at a weekend meeting of the Group of 20 rich and developing countries promised to use "all tools" at their disposal to bolster weak global growth, but they didn't announce any specific moves. Some relief emerged with the news that China's monetary authorities had cut the amount of deposits that banks have to keep in reserve at the central bank. That should free up cash for banks to lend. The government also guided the yuan lower.

Germany's DAX slipped 0.2 percent, while the FTSE 100 index of British shares remained unchanged. The CAC-40 in France rose 0.9 percent. The yen's strength weighed on Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225, which fell 1 percent. The Shanghai Composite Index tumbled 2.9 percent after the yuan's decline.

Stock markets in Europe were helped somewhat by news that inflation across the eurozone turned negative in February as consumer prices fell. The euro fell because traders expect further monetary stimulus from the European Central Bank at its meeting on March 10.

In other metals trading, silver prices edged up 21 cents to $14.90 an ounce. Copper rose 1 cent to $2.13 a pound.

Bond prices rose and the yield on the 10-year Treasury note slipped to 1.75 percent from 1.76 percent. The euro fell to $1.0875 from $1.0928 and the dollar fell to 112.95 yen from 113.90 yen.

Things were looking up for Joey Sampson, according to family members, who are now planning funeral services for the Wareham native killed in a Route 3 crash in Plymouth.

WAREHAM — The future was looking bright for Joey Sampson, a Plymouth County resident who recently graduated from barber school.

"He had a lot of dreams," said Joey's aunt, Cathy Sampson. "He was getting there, he was reaching his dreams."

The 21-year-old Wareham man was killed in a car crash in Plymouth on Feb. 25. The car was driven by 29-year-old Steven Marshall, Cathy's son and Joey's cousin.

Physically, Steven continues to recover from the crash."But mentally, he's not so good," Cathy said. "They were best friends."

Now, the family of the kid who could always make people laugh is raising money to help cover the cost of his funeral. "Rest in Peace Joey Sampson," says the GoFundMe page launched for Joey. Almost $800 in donations had been collected by early Monday evening, with an overall fundraising goal of $8,000.

"He was such a good kid," Cathy said. "He was just a walking angel."

The crash investigation was conducted by the Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis & Reconstruction Section, the Crime Scene Services Section, and troopers attached to Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz's office.

Sanders used his final speech before Massachusetts voters go to the polls to draw contrasts between his policies and those of his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.

MILTON - Just 12 hours before the polls open on Super Tuesday, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders urged Massachusetts voters to support his self-described "political revolution."

"Your state led the American Revolution. Now it is time for Massachusetts to lead the political revolution," Sanders told a crowd of 3,600 people in a packed gym at Milton High School.

Sanders used his final speech before Massachusetts voters go to the polls to draw contrasts between his policies and those of his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.

"We are going to beat Donald Trump because we know that bringing people together trumps divisiveness," Sanders said. "We will defeat Donald Trump because we know that love trumps hatred."

Massachusetts is one of 11 states that votes on Super Tuesday. While Clinton, a former secretary of state, U.S. senator and first lady, is generally expected to do better in most of the southern states that vote Tuesday, Sanders, a Vermont senator, is hoping for a win in Massachusetts, which neighbors his home state of Vermont and where there are large numbers of liberal Democrats. Recent polls show Clinton with a single-digit lead.

Clinton held rallies in Springfield and Boston Monday, and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, is headlining a Monday night rally in Worcester.

Most of the state's top politicians have endorsed Clinton, including the entire congressional delegation except for U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who has remained neutral. Sanders' supporters include more grassroots activists and young people.

Several voters said they like Sanders' honesty and passion.

"I like his passion, I like his message, I like his realness," said Jean Zarrillo, 69, an independent voter and retiree from Avon, who is supporting Sanders.

"I like Hillary too, but I just think she's a politician. I think we're all done with the politicians," Zarrillo said.

"He's for the people and he's genuine," said Michaela Boyer, 24, a Salem Democrat who works in a restaurant. "I love that he is taking money away from billionaires to help support more of the middle to lower class."

In a 45-minute speech, Sanders mentioned Clinton several times. Sanders said he voted against the war in Iraq, while Clinton voted for it. Sanders cited his opposition to the Defense of Marriage Act, a bill signed by then-President Bill Clinton that defined marriage as between a man and a woman for purposes of federal benefits.

"Hillary Clinton supported that bad piece of legislation," Sanders said.

As he has in the past, Sanders attacked Clinton for accepting money from Wall Street, getting support from super political action committees and refusing to release the transcript of a speech she gave to Goldman Sachs, for which she was paid $225,000.

"Our campaign does not need a super PAC when we have millions of people prepared to stand up and fight," Sanders said. A super PAC run by a national nurses' association has spent millions of dollars supporting Sanders.

Much of Sanders' speech focused on his policy prescriptions: providing Medicare for all, offering free public college education, reforming the campaign finance system, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, reforming the criminal justice system and providing paid family and medical leave. He cited the problems of high youth unemployment and crumbling public infrastructure.

Sanders addressed the common critiques of his policies - that his plans are unrealistic and that he is not electable in a general election.

"If you start off asking for half a loaf, you're going to end up with crumbs. If you start off asking for a full damn loaf, you may actually get something," Sanders said.

Sanders said he could defeat Trump. "Not only will we beat him, we will beat him badly," Sanders said.

"The American people do not want a president who insults Mexicans, the American people don't want a president who insults Muslims, the American people do not want a president who insults women...and who basically insults anyone who isn't just like him," Sanders said. "And thank God most Americans are not just like him."

Rally attendee Geoff Wilkinson, 60, a professor at Boston University's social work school and a Democratic voter from Milton, said he likes Sanders' platform.

"I really think that we need to break up the power of big money and restore grassroots democracy in this country," Wilkinson said. "He's taking on the moneyed interests more directly, and this message is one that needs to be heard seriously in our whole political discourse."

In 1874 the Williamsburg Reservoir Dam gave way, killing 139 people and wiping out villages along the Mill River.

It was rainy Saturday morning in 1874 when a massive stone-and-earth dam in the woods of Williamsburg gave way, sending 600 million gallons of water and a wall of debris plummeting into Haydenville and Leeds, killing 139 people and destroying factories and five villages along the Mill River.

The remains of that ill-fated dam still stand, but the site is hard for hikers to find because a private landowner has blocked access to the traditional trailhead at the end of Judd Lane in Williamsburg.

Now the city of Northampton, which owns the dam site as part of its drinking water protection land, may collaborate with Williamsburg to create a new trail to the site, and a contract between the two municipalities is up for a City Council vote on March 3.

Williamsburg selectman chairman David E. Mathers wrote to Northampton Mayor David J. Narkewicz on Dec. 10 to submit a formal proposal for a trail with parking off Ashfield Road that would follow the upper reaches of the Mill River through the woods to the dam site, skirting land owned by Christopher A. Joyner, who does not want people to cross his property.

Other private landowners have agreed to let the trail cross their property instead.

"The story of the flood is a formative story in our communities' history; unfortunately, access to the Williamsburg Reservoir Dam site, which tells so much of that story, has been off-limits to the general public due to private property concerns," Mathers wrote in his letter.

According to the proposed memorandum, Northampton will allow the construction and public use of the trail by the Williamsburg Woodland Trails Committee, which will monitor and maintain the path, including a wooden pedestrian bridge.

No motor vehicles will be allowed except by a separate agreement, dogs except service animals will be banned, and trail users will be prohibited from camping, entering streams, moving stones, or altering historic structures.

The agreement indemnifies both communities from claims arising from the use of the trail. Northampton has reserved the property for possible future water supply needs and sometimes conducts forestry operations there.

The Haydenville dam disaster was chronicled in an award-winning book by Elizabeth M. Sharpe in 2004 entitled "In the Shadow of the Dam: The Aftermath of the Mill River Flood of 1874."

The dam, completed in 1866, was 600 feet long and 43 feet high, holding back a 100-acre reservoir. It had been built by 11 manufacturers who formed the Williamsburg Reservoir Company.

An 1875 coroner's inquest blamed both the reservoir company and the Massachusetts Legislature. which chartered it, and further faulted the contractors who built the dam, the engineer who designed it, and the county commissioners who inspected and approved it, according to Sharpe's research.

The New England Historical Society has called the flood "a preventable tragedy." The event led to the adoption of dam safety regulations in Massachusetts and surrounding states.

"We hope you will look favorably upon this proposed project, and we invite you, your staff and your family to come experience the trail," wrote Mathers to Narkewicz.

The Northampton City Council will consider the petition at its Thursday, March 3 meeting, which starts at 7 p.m.

Holyoke Mayor Alex Morse said he will issue an emergency request for proposals to do demolition of the 163 Sargeant St. armory, which partially collapsed Monday and where an emergency take-down of a wall will take place Tuesday. Watch video

This updates a story posted at 7:15 p.m. Monday, Feb. 29, 2016: Holyoke crews on scene of partial collapse of old armory building

HOLYOKE -- An emergency demolition will take place Tuesday of the remaining wall that was left standing after the partial collapse Monday of the rear part of the 116-year-old former National Guard Armory at Sargeant and Pine streets, officials said.

"No one was hurt," Fire Chief John A. Pond said at the scene.

The 15 tenants of the three-family building at 292 Pine St., whose driveway the remaining red-brick wall towers over, were evacuated and natural gas and electricity were shut off as precautions. The tenants said they would stay with family or friends, he said.

Staff from the Red Cross is helping tenants and employees from the Thomas J. O'Connor Animal Control Shelter are helping with any pets, Mayor Alex B. Morse said.

The demolition is scheduled to begin Tuesday at 7 a.m. and tenants at 292 Pine St. can return to their homes later in the day, he said.

He will issue an emergency request for proposals from contractors so additional demolition and site work can be done, he said.

It was possible that with the collapse of a significant part of the armory, at 163 Sargeant St., the wall could be left unstable enough to fall, hence the order for the emergency razing of the wall, Building Commissioner Damian J. Cote said. A worker with a crane had already arrived on the scene just after 8 p.m.

The armory had been vacant for decades, Morse said.

The collapse occurred about 6:15 p.m., officials said.

It was likely that a cause of the collapse of the roughly 50-foot-by-60-foot section at the rear of the armory was related to broken gutters. Lack of a directed flow of the rain water over the years left water to travel over and deteriorate the mortar between bricks, Cote said.

"Water wasn't properly diverted," he said.

The emergency demolition Tuesday will take down only the free-standing wall and possibly part of the now-open middle part of the armory, he said. City officials will have to determine what to do with the rest of the building. The front part of the stately-looking armory, which includes four turrets, could be salvaged, Cote said.

Gretchen Griess said she has lived at 292 Pine St. adjacent to the armory for six years.

"It's been falling down for about five," Griess said.

She discussed the armory's partial collapse as she walked her dog outside the yellow emergency-scene tape. Firefighters, police and city officials looked at the sudden lot of debris and waited as Holyoke Gas and Electric workers dismantled utilities.

"I didn't hear what everybody else heard," Griess said. "I just thought it was trash barrels rolling around in the driveway. But then the house filled with white dust."

Deputy Fire Chief Tom Shea said a "dust storm" moving across Sargeant Street greeted firefighters arriving at the scene. The substantial cave-in means the wall must come down, he said.

"If that were to collapse it would hit the house," Shea said. "That's a pretty substantial wall."

The collapse of the armory recalled the Dec. 11, 2014 partial collapse of the former Essex House hotel on High Street, a controversy still fresh in the minds of city officials and business owners whose commerce was affected by closed-off streets to deal with that emergency.

Like the armory, the Essex House was vacant and a source of occasionally falling bricks. Months of finger-pointing between officials and people in the community arguing about what steps were taken and should have been taken followed the incident at the Essex House, which was taken down weeks later.

An issue regarding demolition of the armory is likely to be funding as city councilors have warned department heads like Pond in discussing spending requests that the city has little flexibility in terms of available cash. Cote said the emergency demolition will cost about $2,000.

It was unclear what the take-down of the rest of the armory would cost.

One initiative that could gain from the partial collapse of the armory is the push to have the city establish the Community Preservation Act (CPA). That act would impose a surcharge on property taxpayers, an extra fee, with the funds used for only certain projects such as restoration of buildings like the armory.

Historical Commission Chairwoman Olivia Mausel said at a CPA meeting in July that the armory would benefit from such an effort, describing it as "with that gaping hole in the side, it's still bleeding bricks."

She said at the time that the armory was built in 1907. But Massachusetts Cultural Resource information provided by Penni Martorell, curator and city historian at Wistariahurst Museum, said the armory was built around 1900.

Part of the armory's historical significance was as the home of the National Guard, the volunteer militia, the Massachusetts Cultural Resource information said.

"In its early years, before World War II, the building was referred to as the 'M.V.M. Armory,' for the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. It was later referenced commonly as the 'drill shed' reflecting the addition of the rear (section) and the use of the building for regimental maneuvers," the Massachusetts Cultural Resource information said.

Pond and others at the armory scene recalled the building for its gym and basketball court where high school matches were played and those familiar with the floor knew to avoid its dead spots when dribbling.

The 28-year-old Springfield native was killed while responding to a weekend domestic dispute in Woodbridge, Virginia.

SPRINGFIELD — Ashley Marie Guindon, a Springfield native who was killed in the line of duty just a day after being sworn in as a police officer in Prince William County, Virginia, will be buried next to her father at St. Thomas the Apostle Cemetery in West Springfield, according to Western Mass News, TV partner of MassLive / The Republican.

Guindon, 28, was killed while responding to a domestic dispute on Saturday night in Woodbridge, Virginia, according to authorities, who continue to investigate. Ronald Hamilton, the man who allegedly shot and killed Guindon, is being held without bond in the Prince William County Adult Detention Center on murder and other charges.

Guindon was born in Springfield and spent her early childhood in the Feeding Hills section of Agawam before moving to New Hampshire with her parents, Sharon Nowack Guindon and the late David Guindon. Her uncle, Thomas Guindon, is a detective with the West Springfield Police Department.

Guindon is a 2005 graduate of Merrimack High School in New Hampshire and a 2011 graduate of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida. She also served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve.

She later attended the Joint Mortuary Affairs Center in Fort Lee, Virginia, where she was honored for achieving the highest GPA in her class. Hoping to become a crime-scene investigator, she interned with the Prince William County Police Department's Forensic Services Bureau. It was her "overwhelmingly positive experience with that bureau" that led her to apply to become a Prince William County police officer, according to department officials.

On June 19, 2015, Guindon graduated from the Prince William Police Criminal Justice Academy, but she later resigned for personal reasons before completing the Field Training Program. Guindon was rehired by the department in February and began her Field Officer Training on Saturday night, police said.

"Ashley Guindon is deeply loved and sorely missed not just by those who knew her best, but by everyone who is touched, not by how she died, but how she lived. Such is the fate of a hero," the Police Department said in an online tribute to the slain officer.

"West Springfield Police are with heavy hearts today after learning of the fatal shooting of Ashley Guindon on her first night of duty," the department said in a Facebook post Sunday. "This is the sacrifice ... this is the cost," Police Chief Ronald Campurciani told Western Mass News.

Aaron Fox, 18, of Pepperell, was arraigned Monday in Ayer District Court on charges of assault to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and disorderly conduct.

DUNSTABLE — A teenager has been arrested in connection with a weekend stabbing at a house party in the Middlesex County town of Dunstable.

Aaron Fox, 18, of Pepperell, was arraigned Monday in Ayer District Court on charges of assault to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and disorderly conduct. Fox is being held until a hearing later this week to determine if he's too dangerous to be released on bail.

The stabbing allegedly occurred at a Dunstable home early Saturday morning. "We do not believe this was a random act of violence. The victim and suspect appear to be known to each other," Dunstable Police Chief James G. Downes III said, calling the incident a "senseless act of violence."

Massachusetts State Police troopers assigned to Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan's office are assisting with the investigation.

The teenage victim, who wasn't publicly identified by police, suffered serious injuries. Officers found him with multiple stab wounds when they responded to an Adams Street home around 3:45 a.m. Saturday.

Police rendered medical aid to the victim until he was taken by ambulance to Lowell General Hospital. He was later airlifted to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, where he underwent emergency surgery. An update on his condition was unavailable.

Dunstable, Groton and Pepperell police searched the area and quickly located Fox near the intersection of Adams and Kemp streets, where he was taken into custody.

"Our officers responded swiftly and professionally to a violent crime in progress and were able to render aid to the victim while simultaneously securing the perimeter," Downes said.

The three teens, who are ages 14, 15, and 16, were each charged with receiving a stolen motor vehicle.

WILBRAHAM - Three Springfield teens are facing charges after leading police on a chase through Wilbraham and Palmer early Saturday in what turned out to be a unmarked Springfield police car that had been stolen, officials said.

The three teens, who are ages 14, 15, and 16, were each charged with receiving a stolen motor vehicle. The 14-year-old is also facing charges in Wilbraham as part of the pursuit, according to police.

None of their names were released to the press because of their ages.

A fourth suspect apparently escaped, according to police.

The car turned out to have been an unmarked police vehicle being used by the Narcotics Unit in a drug investigation, said Springfield police spokesman Sgt. John Delaney.

He said it is more than likely that none of them knew it was a police vehicle until afterward.

An unmarked car, unlike a police cruiser or a detective vehicle, is just like any private vehicle. There is no two-way radio, portable computer, flashing lights and siren, or anything else to indicate it was a police vehicle, Delaney said.

There were no weapons in the car when it was stolen, he said, adding that the car was apparently targeted for use in a joy ride.

"They didn't realize what they were in," he said.

The car was taken from Worthington Street near Primo's Pizza, according to Delaney.

When Springfield police noticed the car had been stolen, they sent an advisory out to all regional police departments.

Hours later, a Wilbraham police officer spotted the car traveling on Route 20 and attempted to pull it over. The car sped off and the officer gave pursuit.

The chase continued along route 20 into Palmer, where Palmer police deployed Stop Sticks to flatten its tires, Wilbraham police said.

Four suspects got out and ran into the woods.

According to the Massachusetts State Police, trooper Matthew Baird and his dog partner Caber arrived on scene and began tracking suspects. The dog followed a scent down the street, through several backyards and a parking lot, over a fence and along some railroad tracks.

The dog led police to a porch where two boys were standing. Both ignored a command to stay put and ran off, only to be tracked down again by Caber a short distance away.
Each was taken into custody.

A short time later, a third teen who had been hiding emerged and surrendered to police, state police said. The three are scheduled to be arraigned in Springfield Juvenile Court.
