DA: Fatal shooting by trooper at Newbury gas station was justified [The Daily News of Newburyport, Mass.]
Jan. 15 NEWBURY A report by the Plymouth District Attorney’s Office this week says the fatal shooting of a Dracut man by a state police trooper at a Byfield gas station last February was justified.
Thomas C. Murray, 31, was shot to death by Trooper Steve Buccheri on Feb. 16, at the A.L. Prime gas station off Interstate 95 in Byfield.
“Based upon the facts presented, the case law pertaining to the use of deadly force necessary to defend oneself or others, and the independent evaluation of a Certified Force Science Analyst, our office has determined that the force used by Trooper Buccheri in this incident was appropriate and lawful,” the DA’s Office report reads.

NEWBURYPORT â Donn Pollard, the Fruit Street resident accused of attacking a woman at a Black Lives Matter demonstration last summer, admitted in court Monday that a judge could find him guilty of assault and battery and disorderly conduct, and saw both charges continued without a finding for a year.Â
If Pollard, who is 63, remains out of trouble with the law, stays away from and has no contact with his victim and witnesses and completes an anger management program, the charges will be dropped after that time.
Pollard will be back in court, via video conference, on Feb. 11, for a restitution hearing because the woman he struck on the night of June 26 wants more than $1,000 for damaged sunglasses and pants.Â
