It’s hump day before the Memorial Day weekend but the Patch.com editorial team in Massachusetts has been busy putting together all kinds of news you can use. Here are some of the latest headlines.

The mayor of Boston has issued a new report about abuse and addiction in the city. A new Office of Recovery Services has also been created. A 63-year-old woman was held on bail after allegedly shooting a man. You’ll never believe what cops found in her home yesterday. Police on the South Shore are looking for video, other evidence, to assist with their case after a shooting in Canton. Here are some tips to protect from ticks. Cops catch four OUIs in three days in this town. Can you really learn about engineering by reading comic books? MBTA Police investigators are looking for help IDing this woman who allegedly assaulted an elderly rider.

Did you get your iced coffee and lend a hand to Boston Children’s and CHaD today? We hope so and we can’t wait to hear about all the money the orgs will receive from Dunkin’ Donuts.
