Wicked Local
A 33-year-old Boston man suffering from a gunshot wound was found on Spring Street early Tuesday morning by a Cambridge Police officer.
The officer was patrolling the area on foot, just blocks from police headquarters, due to an increase in catalytic converters thefts over the last month, when he heard the gunfire. As he ran toward the sound, he discovered the injured man walking on Spring Street, while two vehicles fled in the direction of Sixth Street.
He rendered medical aid before the victim was transported to a local hospital, where he is reportedly in stable condition.
In a search of the area, officers found two abandoned vehicles on Hurley Street, and identified two Boston men who were taken to CPD headquarters on Sixth Street for questioning.

A bit late to the party admittedly, but I know a good thing when I see one, and have therefore determined to join the great Spac goldrush. My special purpose acquisition company – Spac for short – is to be called Warner Galactic Enterprises, and will target investments in space, fintech, climate change, vaccine and cannabis-related early-stage ventures.
I recently watched a trashy Netflix sci-fi movie in which – with the world about to come to an apocalyptic end, obviously – the profs attempt to adapt the human body so as to be able to live on Titan, one of Saturn’s moons, thereby giving humanity a second chance. This would fit the bill nicely, so if you know of anything along these lines, do get in touch.
