3.     Past postal worker Edward Beaumont, 40, was shot in the head this morning by longtime co-worker Michael Uosis.  Not in rage, but in fear, Uosis had recently been robbed and  believed it to be the robber returning because of the hour of Beaumont’s visit,  and since he has been charged on multiple accounts and is facing up to 15 years.
4.     Two teenagers committed a burglary in the city recently.  Janitor Steven Cowles reported their menacing to local police, after beating the duo with stale bread.
