Massachusetts State Police blood drive honors trooper nearly killed in Revere hit-and-run
Massachusetts State Police held a blood drive Friday to honor station commander Lieutenant Donald Bossi who was nearly killed in a hit-and-run in Revere earlier this summer. More than one hundred people donated blood at the event in Peabody. That's three times the number of donors the American Red Cross usually gets during a summer drive. "Summer drives are always hard for us, but this is a great response today. The need for blood is constant," said Red Cross spokesman Jeff Hall. "This is when we can all stand together and support Lieutenant Bossi," said State Police Colonel Geoffrey Noble. "When you look around here today and you all see the troopers that are here today, Lieutenant Bossi is a revered leader within the Mass. State Police. He is loved by his troopers." Bossi was hit by a stolen motorcycle and thrown 40 feet down the street outside the barracks on Revere Beach Boulevard back on June 23. He is still in the hospital. Noble said Friday that Bossi is now awake and responsive. "We would be honored to have Lieutenant Bossi return to work one day. He has a long road," Noble said. Prosecutors said 18-year-old Akram El Moukhtari of Revere hit Bossi, got off the motorcycle and ran away. He later turned himself in. He's been held on $53,500 bail since the crash. "The resilience of the Bossi family has been absolutely amazing. We are so appreciative of the community support of the American Red Cross. This is a good moment," Noble said. Another blood drive will be hosted in Bossi's honor in September. The exact date and time have not been decided yet.

12 years later, family of murdered Malden U.S. Marine Shawn Clark still seeking justice
January 29 is always a difficult day for Anita Clark, Shawn Clark's mother. 'My thoughts are with Shawn today. My thoughts are to get a little bit of justice for him,' she said. It was at about twelve thirty on January 29, 2013, that two hooded people walked into Shawn Clark's skateboard shop. Surveillance cameras inside the shop recorded the incident and within moments there was a violent struggle. Shawn was shot and killed on the sidewalk, on Malden's Main Street, in broad daylight. Shawn Clark opened his store, Patriot Skateboard, after returning from active duty overseas, including two tours of Iraq. No one expected he would survive a foreign war, only to die on the streets of Malden. Authorities have released images of the suspects captured on the store's surveillance system, but in all this time, there is still no arrest. Anita Clark refuses to give up. 'I'd like an apology at least. At least for what they've done. That's 12 years we've had to live with this,' she said. In 2016, Boston 25 News Reporter Bob Ward interviewed Melissa Clark, Shawn's wife, for New England's Unsolved. Widow of Marine killed in skate shop still searching for answers He spoke to her Wednesday on the phone. Melissa said this is a tough day for her family, but she remains hopeful there will someday be answers. 'They didn't really rob the shop,' Melissa Clark said in 2016. 'They robbed us.
