Boston Police respond to 4 shooting and 2 stabbings in Dorchester in under 12 hours
After 11:45 p.m. on Sunday, police were called to Massachusetts Avenue for a report of a person stabbed outside the Home Run Cafe. Police found a victim suffering from multiple stab wounds. The victim was transported to a Boston hospital for treatment and no arrests have been made at this time.
Police are also investigating four different reports of people who were shot overnight, which may be related.
Around 1 a.m. Monday morning, Boston EMS treated an adult man with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound at Ellington Street. Just before 3 a.m., officers found an adult man with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound at Kingsdale Street in Dorchester.
Two minutes later, officers on patrol in Dorchester tried to stop two people believed to be linked to a shot spotter investigation. Police say the suspects failed to stop their dirt bike and ended up crashing the vehicle and engaging in a foot chase.
Officers found one of the men hiding under a parked car with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Before 3 a.m., officers found another individual suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound on Talbot Avenue in Dorchester.
All of these incidents remain under investigation and no arrests have been made.
Monday morning, just after 10 a.m., police were called to a report of a stabbing at Dacia Street. Police found an adult man suffering from a stab wound and arrested 42-year-old Jacques Lassy, who was located in a nearby vehicle.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has often called Boston the safest major city in the country. WBZ-TV asked her about that remark, given the violence.
"When I say that we're the safest major city in the country, it is never to say that our work is done," Wu said, "We will not be satisfied in Boston until we have ended violence, period."

US sanctions more ICC judges, prosecutors for probes into alleged American, Israeli war crimes
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is ramping up pressure on the International Criminal Court for pursuing investigations into U.S. and Israeli officials for alleged war crimes. The State Department on Wednesday announced new sanctions on four ICC officials, including two judges and two prosecutors, who it said had been instrumental in efforts to prosecute Americans and Israelis. As a result of the sanctions, any assets the targets hold in U.S. jurisdictions are frozen. The sanctions are just the latest in a series of steps the administration has taken against The Hague-based court, the world's first international war crimes tribunal. The U.S. has already imposed penalties on the ICC's former chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, who stepped aside in May pending an investigation into alleged sexual misconduct, and four other tribunal judges. In a statement, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he had taken action against ICC judges Kimberly Proust of Canada and Nicolas Guillou of France and prosecutors Nazhat Shameem Khan of Fiji and Mame Mandiaye Niang of Senegal. 'These individuals are foreign persons who directly engaged in efforts by the International Criminal Court to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute nationals of the United States or Israel, without the consent of either nation,' Rubio said. He added that the administration would continue 'to take whatever actions we deem necessary to protect our troops, our sovereignty, and our allies from the ICC's illegitimate and baseless actions.' In a separate statement, the State Department said Prost was hit for ruling to authorize an ICC investigation into U.S. personnel in Afghanistan, which was later dropped. Guillou was sanctioned for ruling to authorize the ICC's issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant related to Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza. Khan and Niang were penalized for continuing Karim Khan's investigation into Israel's actions in Gaza, including upholding the ICC's arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant, according to the statement. Wednesday's move carries on a history of Trump administration actions against the ICC, of which the U.S. is not a member, dating back to his first term in office. During Trump's first term, the U.S. hit the ICC with sanctions, but those were rescinded by President Joe Biden's administration in early 2021.

PGA tour spectator was 'violently' hit by golf cart at Oak Hill, lawsuit says
A spectator at the 2023 PGA Championship says she was seriously injured after she was hit by a rogue golf cart driver and "violently thrown" onto the turf of the Oak Hill County Club in Rochester during the tournament. The East Aurora woman, Lauren Lilley, is suing the country club, the golf tour and the media broadcast company, CBS Sports, for unspecified damages related to her alleged injuries. Lilley was standing along a rope fence designated for spectators when she was struck from behind by a golf cart operated by a member of the media crew for the tournament, her attorneys said in a court filing. Lilley was launched over the rope by the impact and says she suffered a concussion with loss of consciousness, a herniated disc and other injuries to her neck, shoulder and arm. Following the crash, Lilley required surgery and ongoing medical care for pain and permanent injuries that have and will prevent her "from pursuing her usual and ordinary activities, as well as her social and recreational pursuits," according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit accuses CBS Sports and CBS Broadcasting, along with a subcontractor, Robovision Inc., of negligence related to the use of the golf cart. The remaining defendants, including Oak Hill, PGA and PGA Tour, are accused of creating an unsafe environment while hosting a tournament that drew hundreds of thousands of spectators. Oak Hill is set to host the U.S. Women's Open golf tournament for the first time in 2037. — Kayla Canne covers community safety for the Democrat and Chronicle with a focus on police accountability, government surveillance and how people are impacted by violence.

Court revives lawsuit alleging South Florida city's zoning restrictions on gun shop's operations violates state law
A divided appeals court Wednesday revived a lawsuit that alleges a South Florida city's zoning restrictions on where a gun shop could operate violated a state law that prevents local regulation of firearms. A three-judge panel of the 4th District Court of Appeal, in a 2-1 decision, overturned a circuit judge's ruling in favor of Dania Beach and said a jury should decide whether the city's zoning ordinances were designed to restrict the sale of firearms. The case involves a decades-old law that largely gives the state control over gun regulations and prevents local governments from passing their own measures. The law includes an exception for zoning ordinances that "encompass firearms businesses along with other businesses" — but those ordinances cannot be designed to restrict or bar sales of guns. Florida Custom Guns, LLC., a gun shop that does business as Affluent Arms, and the gun-rights group Florida Carry, Inc., filed the lawsuit after city code-enforcement officials cited the shop for operating in a zoning district where such businesses were prohibited, according to Wednesday's ruling. The city said gun shops were allowed in two other zoning districts reserved for businesses such as thrift shops, liquor stores and warehouses. The lawsuit alleged that the city approved the gun-shop zoning restrictions to restrict or prevent sales of firearms, in violation of the state law. But the city argued that it also doesn't allow other types of businesses — such as check-cashing stores, pawn shops, flea markets, drug or alcohol treatment facilities, funeral homes and lumber stores — in the zoning district where the gun shop was prohibited, according to Wednesday's ruling. A circuit judge granted summary judgment to the city, short-circuiting a potential trial. But in overturning that decision Wednesday, the appeals-court majority said given the "zoning ordinances' alleged cause-and-effect upon the retailer's firearms business, and upon firearms businesses generally, a factual dispute exists for a jury to decide" whether the zoning ordinances were designed to restrict firearms sales. "In effect, the defendants (Dania Beach and city officials) contend that as long as the zoning ordinances treat several other businesses in an arguably unfavorable manner, the zoning ordinances may treat firearms businesses in the same unfavorable manner. Not so," said the majority opinion, written by Judge Jonathan Gerber and joined by Judge Alan Forst. But Judge Martha Warner dissented, writing that city officials "provided evidence of the original enactment of the ordinances as part of a rewrite of the entire zoning code, and supported their position with attorney general opinions concluding that zoning ordinances limiting firearm activity in certain zoning districts along with other businesses did not run afoul of the statute." "I would also point out that the plaintiff must prove the purpose of the zoning ordinances was to prohibit the sale, etc. of firearms. … That the effect of the ordinances limited firearm sales would not necessarily prove their purpose," Warner wrote.
