Today's Top Headlines

Sunday, June 7

Good morning Wypierdalaj,

The first weekend of Pride month was a celebration in the streets of Boston as thousands turned out yesterday for the Boston Pride for the People Parade. Today, we're tracking scattered rain and a few thunderstorms as the day goes on, particularly across eastern Massachusetts. Other news we're following includes former state police trooper Michael Proctor seeking an emergency protective order to delay his deposition in a wrongful death suit against Karen Read.

Michael Proctor is seeking an emergency protective order to delay his witness deposition in a wrongful death suit filed by John O’Keefe’s family against Karen Read, the latest twist in this ongoing saga.

The disgraced former Massachusetts State Police trooper is scheduled to be disposed Monday by lawyers for Read. However, Proctor and his attorneys said in court paperwork filed Friday that the previously agreed upon date of June 8 is “no longer workable due to a variety of circumstances,” and that Read will not agree to rescheduling Proctor’s deposition.

NBC10 Boston chief legal analyst Michael Coyne says delaying depositions isn’t uncommon, emergencies happen in life, but the timing of this is certainly questionable. The motion was filed just one day after a slew of extremely vulgar, racist, and sexist text messages, recordings and other communications between Proctor and former Canton police sergeant Sean Goode were made public.

Sunday starts off dry with more clouds than sunshine, making for a pleasant start to the day.

Temperatures will climb into the upper 70s to mid 80s during the afternoon, running a few degrees above the normal high of 73.

As the day goes on, scattered showers and a few thunderstorms will develop, especially across eastern Massachusetts. Not everyone will see rain, but it’s worth keeping an eye on the sky if you have outdoor plans later in the day.

The Croft School has filed for bankruptcy as teachers take legal action, claiming they are owed pay for work they already completed.

Oxford Street Education, LLC, the private school’s parent company, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy Friday, a move that will liquidate its assets as the school prepares to shut down.

Court documents show the school owes more than $12 million but has only a fraction of that in assets, leaving teachers, families and other creditors uncertain whether they will recover any money.

The first weekend of Pride month was a celebration in the streets of Boston as thousands turned out, in every color of the rainbow, for the annual Boston Pride for the People Parade.

Three hundred different organizations with about 12,000 people were expected to participate, according to organizers, who chose this year’s theme as a reminder that before Pride was a party, it was a movement.

Boston Pride for the People, the volunteer-led organization behind the largest Pride celebration in New England, kicked off its celebrations with an 11 a.m. parade that was accompanied by an all ages concert and festival on Boston Common.

A man was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries after a stabbing in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood Friday night.

He was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. His current condition is not clear.
