In a joint statement, Burlington Police and Burlington School District blame Wednesday's mock shooting incident on a "breakdown in communication" and say they held a "restorative circle" with the impacted students today. How, exactly, communication broke down remains a mystery.

In 2020, a young man went to the ER because he thought strangers wanted to kill him. Two years later, he severely beat his prison cellmate, leading to a murder charge. What happened to Mbyayenge “Robbie” Mafuta? A story, from @derekwbrouwer and I. sevendaysvt.com/vermont/a-yo…

Carson Wentz couldn't have had a worse start to the game. He's thrown two interceptions, bounced or overthrown three routes out of the backfield and heard "HEIN-ICKE!" chants at least three times.

Or cancer! Cheers to nine years.
Seven years ago today, I completed my eighth and final round of round of chemotherapy at @AlbanyMed. I was 20 at the time, and spent a combined 60 nights in the hospital that summer and fall. (1/x)
