Parishioners in Massachusetts church standoff to make case in court Posted: 22 Jul 2015 04:22 AM PDT Parishioners of a Massachusetts Roman Catholic church who have staged a decade-long vigil intended to stop the Boston archdiocese from closing it are due to argue their case in a state appeals court on Wednesday.

The Boston Archdiocese ordered the closure of the church, located on a 30-acre (12-hectare) plot of land on the waterfront in Scituate, about 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Boston, in a round of cost-cutting dating to the early days of the clergy sex abuse scandal.

Tennessee suspect's family sees depression, shame behind rampage Posted: 21 Jul 2015 06:48 PM PDT Members of Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez's family believe deep depression and shame over an drunken driving charge may have led him to go on a rampage in which five U.S. servicemen died last week, a source close to the family said on Tuesday. Two days before the Chattanooga attack, Abdulazeez told his family he was going to work, the source said, but they learned from his friends that he instead took a marijuana and alcohol-fueled "joy ride" in a rented car. The trigger for his "bender" was the worsening of depression that had dogged him for years, the family believes.
