BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbian police on Thursday urged citizens to lock up their guns after a 13-year-old boy used his father’s guns in a shooting rampage that killed eight of his fellow students and a school guard, sending shock waves through the nation.Thousands of people in Belgrade and other cities throughout the Balkan country lined up to lay flowers, light candles and leave toys to commemorate the victims of the shooting that happened in a central district in the Serbian capital on Wednesday morning.Many people cried and hugged outside the school as they stood in front of heaps of flowers, small teddy bears, a gray and pink toy elephant and a girl’s ballet shoes hung on the fence. Students from other Belgrade schools also came to the site in groups, standing in silence.Police said the teenager had planned the attack for a month, drew sketches of classrooms and made lists of children he planned to kill. The boy, who had visited shooting ranges with his father, too...Kremlin ‘lying’ about American involvement in Moscow drone strikes, US says

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov was “just lying” when he accused Washington of coordinating drone attacks on Moscow, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said Thursday.“I can assure you that there was no involvement by the United States. Whatever it was, it didn’t involve us,” Kirby said on MSNBC when asked about Peskov’s comments. “We had nothing to do with it. Peskov is just lying there, pure and simple.”Peskov’s accusation came after two drones struck Moscow on Wednesday in what Russia characterized without evidence as an assassination attempt on Russian President Vladimir Putin by Ukraine.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denied the accusation, and U.S. officials said they had no advanced knowledge of the attacks.Peskov reportedly said during a press conference earlier Thursday that “attempts to disown this, both in Kyiv and in Washington, are, of course, absolutely ridiculous. We know very well that decisions about such actions, about such terrorist attack...Middlesex DA’s, Sheriff’s Offices face off in Stoneham for annual Boys & Girls Club dodgeball tournament fundraiser

The crowd of family and friends around Gervon Dexter was screaming so loudly when Matt Eberflus took over the Chicago Bears cellphone that it took a couple of tries to exchange greetings.Eventually Dexter, the Florida defensive tackle the Bears drafted in the second round Friday night, delivered his message to his new coach.“I’m ready, man,” Dexter said in the conversation captured on video. “I promise, I’m ready.”Eberflus replied: “I know you will be. That’s right. You’ve just got to get your track shoes on, brother.”That last line has become an Eberflus refrain over the last 16 months as he greets new players and lets them know they need to be in shape and ready to go hard when they report for workouts.For a group of new players that includes Dexter, that starts at rookie minicamp Friday and Saturday as the Bears look at their 10 draft picks and a slew of undrafted free agents and tryout players.For the last four months s...Explosion rips roof off Newburyport chemical company, one missing

DETROIT — Max Scherzer used to dominate at Comerica Park. He won the first of his three Cy Young Awards as a member of the Tigers and became one of the preeminent pitchers of his time during his five seasons in Detroit.This wasn’t the same Scherzer that took the mound Wednesday night. Scherzer gave up six earned runs and failed to get out of the fourth inning in an 8-1 loss to the Tigers in his first game back after a 10-game suspension. His velocity was down, his spin rates were down and the Mets couldn’t give him any offense to work with.“He went 13 days without pitching,” manager Buck Showalter said. “I was trying to get him to 80 pitches just to keep building him up, but it’s something you’ve got to go through. We were hoping for a little better results and I know he was. We only scored one run and even at five, we felt like we’d make a run at it but we didn’t.”The 13-day layoff may partially be to blame.
