American flag at the center of campus, burned by students upset over the election of donald trump. School officials wanted to spark a discussion about race and justice on campus and in the country but they never expected protests as a result. The backlash against the decision to lower the flag became kind of a toxic circus. Rather than enabling the discussion drown it out. And we recognize in order to do what we want to do what we probably made more sense to put the flag back up and that is what we have done. School officials said they did not lower the flight to make a political statement and they never intended to offend veterans or military families. Dont be fooled by this bright beautiful sunshine over boston. Temps trending down this lets bring in daniel niles for a check on the accuweather forecast. How long will we savor sunshine . The sun will be out a lot of this weekend which is good news the temperature starting to cool off. There is an active breeze see you can feel the change in the air. Not 5560 like yesterday. 49 in boston right now, 49 lawrence, above average day, but you have to factor in the wind and it is gusty. Not damaging but out of the west between 20 and 30 Miles Per Hour in terms of gus adding the real feel is 43 in boston currently 40 34 in worcester.

More details and the next chance of snow potential coming to lawrence where officials, the mayor and police chief are breeding us on the body found yesterday. Weve come today to let citizens know that police are hard at work getting to the bottom of this crime. I share everyones frustration and anger about the incident itself, about the lack of information currently available could happen in our community. Frankly, as you can already imagine we have very little answers for you today. There are details that if released or discussed will only serve to undermine the investigation or cause bad results in the end. I would hate to have to come before you in three weeks and say that suspects have evaded police or that we cant or cant be brought to justice because i or someone else was wellmeaning and gave out information that hurt the case. Investigation for me needs to be first to make sure there is a good, positive identification of the body so we can have closure on who the victim is. And secondly, the officers involved build a rocksolid case to capture the people involved, which is not an easy task. It doesnt happen fast and b for the da and his team to build a case that can put those two things dont happen at the speed a social media, it doesnt happen at the speed of light. It is thorough, thoughtful Investigation Police work. I do recall on the state police and even the governor to get the identification of the body expedited. Every available resource of the medical Examiners Office should be put on this to identify this body. This will bring closure to our community. Prudent for the District Attorney to make a personal statement about the progress of this case. Residents of the community are worried and rumors and innuendo are causing greater concern for safety. It could help allay those fears. I would also encourage him to come to the scene and ensure all that he is expected from this investigation is happening on the ground here in lawrence. I will say it again well we are blocked from saying much more i will reiterate with the chief says whe this is not a random act. I would tell people to fight the urge to believe what you are reading on facebook and twitter. The only location that facts will come from on this matter will be the District Attorneys Office. If you dont have that as a source i would question the information. And as far as we know, so far going on, our community, our neighborhoods and our kids are not a threat to what happened to this victim. If anyone has information they can call the das office 978, 97845 8908 or lawrence detectives 978954 9500 extension 65. Very useful in this day and age you can use 274637, type the first letters law pd and send us a tip all of these venues either by calling the das office, the Detectives Office or text a tip all of it is confidential and anonymous. The chief is not owing to take questions but i will take some questions. Reporter people feel safe here when a person is decapitated, you dont have any at the District Attorney . I did not say i was upset. Reporter what are you . I am just relaying what he told us, Law Enforcement community is telling us. That this is not a random incident which is enough. They have a duty to tell us if it was a random incident of other people were at risk they have a duty. I know a lot of people believe the government is useless and we cant trust anyone but that is not worried about have to trust community and the District Attorneys Office who see this stuff, see the details of all the investigations going on. They are telling us we are safe. Reporter may be linked, maybe not, is there any ms13 Gang Activity in town that may be linked to this type of crime . I have no idea about that that is a question for the das office. Reporter are you concerned it happened here. I live here, i work here i am concerned about this. We have had conversations with the governor and District Attorney about doing more with violence around drug activity. To make the effort we are already doing harder, more impactful. That violence is associated with the use and selling of drugs and that is what we have and we are that is why we put so many resources toward the problem. Reporter not to believe what they are reading on facebook and twitter does that include members of the media here . As you, your sources. Reporter people are identifying the victim as the missing boy are you saying dont believe that . I am saying the District Attorney is the only one that it is such a big, important part of what is talked about calling on the da and the medical examiner and the governor, calling him too, to expedite this. Because there is so many questions around that, just one issue about who the victim is. Reporter the family of the boy that is missing the 16 yearold. We have been meeting with them since the boy went missing. Reporter [ spoken in spanish ]. Reporter people have been speculating terrorists, ice is no assurance by your Police Department except for a pathetic priest press release that came out the said nothing yesterday how do you address that when you say no to people on facebook and twitter but you here is identifying the body, getting the people who did this. I will upset you and the press to the extent that we have to so that we can get to the bottom of this. Reporter why do you have the family of the missing child down there . If you havent identified the body why you have the family of the child who is missing. We cannot account for with the family is doing. Reporter more than one pe trying to be i do have any details that is a question for the District Attorneys Office.
