The Berkshire County District Attorney has cleared Officer Jeffrey Spratt of any crime for the Jan. 7 killing of Biagio Kauvil, who was having a mental health crisis.

The homegoing service took place at a church on the same avenue where Hartford police shot Jones, who died days later.

The public wants the termination of the officers who fired their weapons and a public briefing from police and city leaders.

Steven “Stevie” Jones was 55 years old. The Greater Hartford branch of the NAACP weighed in on Jones’ shooting, the second police shooting of a Black man in acute mental distress in less than two weeks in the capital city.

Diane and Michael Durgin both allegedly opened fire on a vehicle that mistakenly entered their property. Diane told authorities she was concerned for her safety because the man was Black.

A Chittenden County judge heard conflicting testimony on Monday about whether a man accused of shooting three Palestinian college students in Burlington is competent to stand trial. The day-long hearing ended without a ruling.

Hunter Nadeau told police shortly after his arrest that he wanted to target the wealthy for “not helping the poor.”

Federal authorities accuse Blu Zeke Daly, 26, of firing at a federal agent during a traffic stop early Sunday morning near the Canadian border.

The suspected shooter worked at a shipyard in Bath, Maine, but often traveled to Rhode Island.

The shooter had a flareup of domestic disputes with their family in 2020, but investigators say they are still searching for a ‘trigger event’ closer to the shooting six years later
