Local Police on High Alert

The decision was made because of the terror attack in Paris.

Three masked gunmen stormed the Paris offices of a satirical newspaper and killed 12 people before escaping in a car Wednesday morning.

Boston police are on high alert following the attack, the Boston Herald reported.

“On-duty officers have been made aware of the incident and they have been advised to remain vigilant in the area of the French consulate,” said Officer Rachel Maguire, a department spokeswoman. “They will be paying attention and patrolling the area as needed.”
