What still needs to happen for the Connecticut Sun to move to Boston?

It’s long been a dream of local WNBA fans to have a team based right in Boston, and it’s now one step closer to becoming a reality.A big hurdle remains in bringing the Connecticut Sun to Boston — the WNBA itself.An investor group led by Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca has made a record-setting $325 million offer to acquire and relocate the Connecticut Sun and make TD Garden the teams new home.“As passionate basketball fans and strong believers in women’s professional sports, we remain excited by this opportunity and would be honored to serve as the next stewards of this franchise,” the group said in a statement.While the transaction is pending, it is far from being a done deal. The WNBA and its board of governors have the final say, and in a statement to ESPN, they wrote relocation decisions are made by the WNBA, and not individual teams. The league went on to say that no groups from Boston applied for a team back in June, when the WNBA opened expansion team bidding.Nine other cities did, and therefore have priority over Boston.“They seem to feel that maybe Boston should have to wait in line like everyone else,” Trenni Casey of NBC Sports Boston said. “In my personal opinion, that is a miss by the WNBA. You could wait eight years and have a bid, and maybe then it’s lost its momentum. But the WNBA is at an apex tight now. They are at a point where they can grow and grow rapidly and why not do it in a great sports market?”If the deal does go through, the team wouldn’t play in Boston until 2027. The investors group would also pay an additional $100 million for a new practice facility in Boston.More on the Connecticut SunWNBAJul 15As TD Garden sells out for Fever-Sun game, Boston pushes for WNBA teamBostonJul 9‘The time is now': Boston city councilor calls for a WNBA franchise in the city

The Revere City Council unanimously approved a letter earlier this week calling on the CEO to settle.Meanwhile, the union continues to call for better pay, better benefits and more labor protections. Republic has “refused to meet with the union for 15 days,” according to the president.Now the Revere City Council is worried about rat problems and public health implications, so they’re thinking about issuing fines to commercial businesses who have contracts with Republic Services to spur some movement.“Our contract is through Capitol Waste so Republic only does condos and commercial businesses here in the city so we have seen condos and restaurants get a little backed up,” Revere City Council President Marc Silvestri said.“We could in theory fine the commercial sites that’s something that was kicked around in our council meeting on Monday,” said Revere City Councilor Juan Pablo Jaramillo.“We don’t want to take it out on these business that have no control but trying to do something to urge the ownership to come to a conclusion,” said Revere City Councilor Paul Argenzio.NBC10 Boston has reached out to Republic Services for a statement but we have yet to hear back.More stories on the Republic Services strikeMassachusettsJul 31Video: Trash strike stalemate continues as Republic accuses union of blocking trucksBostonJul 23Boston to levy fines against Republic Services as trash strike drags onMassachusettsJul 22Mass. communities take trash company to court as strike drags on

Former U.S. soldier suspected of killing 4 in Montana remains at large

The former U.S. soldier suspected of killing four people at a Montana bar was still at large early Sunday and may be armed after escaping in a stolen vehicle containing clothes and camping gear, officials said.Authorities believe 45-year-old Michael Paul Brown killed four people on Friday morning at The Owl Bar in Anaconda, Montana, about 75 miles (120 kilometers) southeast of Missoula in a valley hemmed in by mountains. Suspect Michael Paul Brown and was last seen in the Stumptown area.Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen said at a press conference Sunday that Brown committed the shooting with a rifle that law enforcement believes was his personal weapon. The victims ranged in age from 59 to 74 and were a female bartender and three male patrons.Knudsen warned residents in the town of just over 9,000 people that Brown, who lived next door to the bar where he was a regular, could come back to the area. Crime and CourtsAug 1Authorities search for ex-U.S. soldier suspected in deadly Montana bar shootingMontanaMay 12Family of 4, including a 7-month-old and a 6-year-old, dead in Montana murder-suicide“This is an unstable individual who walked in and murdered four people in cold blood for no reason whatsoever. So there absolutely is concern for the public,” Knudsen said. Numerous public events were canceled over the weekend as the search entered its third day, according to local Facebook pages.Investigators are considering all possible options for Brown’s whereabouts, the attorney general said. That includes searching the woods where Brown hunted and camped while he was a kid. But Knudsen noted that, during peak tourist season in western Montana, some law enforcement officials would have to return to their local jurisdictions for their regular responsibilities. Brown served in the Army as an armor crewman from 2001 to 2005 and deployed to Iraq from early 2004 until March 2005, according to Lt. Col. Ruth Castro, an Army spokesperson. Brown was in the Montana National Guard from 2006 to March 2009, Castro said, and left military service at the rank of sergeant.Brown’s niece, Clare Boyle, told the AP her uncle has struggled with mental illness for years and she and other family members repeatedly sought help.“This isn’t just a drunk/high man going wild,” she said in a Facebook message. “It’s a sick man who doesn’t know who he is sometimes and frequently doesn’t know where or when he is either.”Knudsen said on Sunday that Brown was “known” to local law enforcement before the shooting. It was widely believed that he knew at least some of the victims, given how close he lived to the bar.Law enforcement released a photograph of Brown from surveillance footage taken shortly after the fatal shootings. He appeared to be barefoot and in minimal clothing. But law enforcement now believes Brown ditched the vehicle he escaped in and stole a different one that had camping gear, shoes and clothes in it — leaving open the possibility that Brown is now clothed.The last time that law enforcement saw Brown was on Friday afternoon, but there was “some confusion” because there were multiple white vehicles involved, Knudsen said. There is a $7,500 reward for any information that leads to Brown’s capture.“This is still Montana. Montanans know how to take care of themselves. But please, if you have any sightings, call 911,” Knudsen said.

Agents arrest 2 men accused of helping suspect in Tennessee quadruple killing

Two men described as “associates” of the suspect in a quadruple homicide in Tennessee earlier this week have been arrested on suspicion of helping the fugitive, authorities said Saturday.Special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation arrested Tanaka Brown on Friday and Giovonte Thomas on Saturday, the agency said.Brown and Thomas, both 29 and from Jackson, have been charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder, the bureau said in a statement. Brown also faces one count of tampering with evidence. Brown is being held without bond in Lake County Jail. Thomas will be transferred there from the Madison County Jail, where he was being held on an unrelated charge of failure to appear, the bureau said.The two men are accused of helping Austin Robert Drummond, 28, who remained at large Saturday night. Authorities have been searching for Drummond in connection with the deaths of four people Tuesday in Tiptonville. The four bodies were discovered after an infant was found abandoned in a car seat in Dyer County, setting off a scramble to find the baby’s guardians, Stephen Sutton, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s offices in Lake and Dyer counties, said at a Friday news conference.“The baby is safe and is being cared for,” Sutton said.TennesseeJul 30Baby found on ‘random' Tennessee yard before 4 relatives found deadDrummond has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping, possession of a gun during a dangerous felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.Drummond was out on bond when the killings took place, Danny Goodman, district attorney for Dyer and Lake counties, said Friday.He had been released on bond related to an incident that allegedly took place in prison, where he was serving time for aggravated robbery, Goodman said. It’s not clear whether Drummond, Brown or Thomas have retained legal counsel. The public defender’s office for the judicial district that covers Lake and Dyer counties was not available to provide information late Saturday.Drummond is described as armed and dangerous, and anyone who spots him was asked to call 911.“Getting Austin Drummond in custody is a priority,” the U.S. Marshals Service said.Two vehicles associated with Drummond have been found, authorities said. A white 1988 Ford pickup with red side panels was located in Dyer County on Saturday, and authorities are asking anyone with security video of the truck to send it to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.Drummond’s white 2016 Audi A3 was found abandoned Friday in Jackson, about 74 miles southeast of Tiptonville, the bureau said. He is believed to still be in the Jackson area, bureau Director David B. Rausch said Friday. “This incident has this community on edge,” Rausch said.Jackson is about 87 miles northeast of Memphis.Authorities have previously identified the victims as Matthew Wilson, 21, the abandoned child’s father; Adrianna Williams, 20, the mother; Cortney Rose, 38, the maternal grandmother; and Braydon Williams, 15, the maternal uncle.Authorities haven’t said how they died but have described their deaths as the result of murder.“There is a familial relationship between the suspect and the family,” Rausch said.A relative of the victims said Thursday in a Facebook post that the suspect has “literally been nothing short of amazing to us and our kids.” According to the post, Drummond previously dated a sister of Rose.Rausch said the suspect showed a sign of compassion — dropping the child off — so “there is hope for him to be able to come in and have a conversation about what happened.”Janat Batra contributed.
