📰 News we're reading

• Men's Soccer Defeated By Northeastern, 2-1 (goterriers.com) — A men's college soccer matchup in Brookline saw Boston University fall 2–1 to Northeastern at Parsons Field, despite a late first-half equalizer by BU's Lapo Romieri. The Terriers generated plenty of chances and outshot Northeastern early in the second half, but the Huskies' 78th-minute goal held up, leaving BU winless as it heads to Providence for its next match.
   

• Report reveals flawed hunt for Brown University shooter who killed Mountain Brook teen (al.com) — A newly released report on the Brown University mass shooting details investigative delays and missed opportunities that may have allowed the gunman to remain at large before he killed MIT professor Nuno Loureiro at his home in Brookline. The review urges better camera integration, tip management, and multi-agency coordination, raising lingering questions about whether the tragedy near Boston could have been prevented.
   

• Providence gets high marks for Brown shooting response, but report flags gaps (wbur.org) — Brookline readers are indirectly tied to this Providence review because it notes the Brown University gunman allegedly went on to kill an MIT professor in Brookline after escaping Rhode Island. The report largely praises Providence's response to the campus shooting but flags gaps in communications, command structure, and emergency alerts, while strongly backing controversial Flock license-plate cameras that critics say failed to stop the later Brookline killing.
