Pauline,
That is the language taken directly from court documents. Police reports in the case file "characterize" the a&b and attempted murder charges from this incident as a "lovers' quarrel."- Jeremie

On the article Area Legislators, Gun Owners Debate Bill Calling for More Firearm Regulations

Claire,
Agree to disagree. From my perspective - and from listening to the meeting for a second time through (I recorded it for accuracy) - the "feeling in the room" was very much gun owners calling into question several of Linsky's provisions, which I stated in the article. It is unfortunate that people felt "bullied" because I personally found the discussion to be a healthy debate, especially considering how passionate people will be on this issue. I felt as though Dennis did a good job moderating the discussion as he allowed people to voice personal opinions and pose challenging questions to legislators. He was always on point to right the ship whenever an interruption or outburst occurred to keep the discussion going in a civil manner. I did not feel that was important to note in the article because it is to be expected in discussions related to civil rights. That being said, I welcome anyone who is pro gun control - or against it - that did not wish to speak at Monday's discussion to post their comments to this article here as a way to facilitate the discussion further. Or, if you would like, I encourage anyone pro - or against - gun control to submit a Letter to the Editor via e-mail to Jeremie.Smith@patch.com. Thank you. -

Claire,
I certainly did not hear many gun control advocates in the audience speak up during the discussion Monday. You even mentioned to me "We had several members who felt too intimidated to even speak" at the event. I am confident I reported accurately what occurred at the meeting ... a healthy debate between gun owners and legislators that was well moderated and facilitated an interesting discussion.

ReplyHi Brian,
There's the Foxboro Jaycees candidates night on April 11th, which Foxborough Patch will be on the media panel asking questions. That event will be broadcast on Foxboro Cable Access. As soon as the deadline to submit nomination papers passes (March 18), I will begin interviewing candidates. Thank you for the inquiry and I agree, it will definitely be an interesting election! -

Number of police-related calls Patriot Place reported in its analysis was checked for accuracy by Foxborough Police Chief Edward O'Leary before it was presented to the board Tuesday. Foxborough Fire Chief Roger Hatfield reported at Tuesday's meeting he hasn't had a chance to check the numbers for fire-related calls but would do so shortly.
