BOSTON (AP) — Less than three years after bombs killed three people and wounded more than 260 others at the Boston Marathon, two movies, a play and an HBO documentary are in the works, causing decidedly mixed feelings among some of those most touched by the tragedy.
News that Boston native Mark Wahlberg planned to star in "Patriots Day" surfaced earlier this year during the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was convicted and sentenced to death for his role in the attack.
Gov. Charlie Baker signed legislation Tuesday making it a crime punishable by up to 20 years in prison for trafficking the potent synthetic opiate fentanyl, which law enforcement has blamed for numerous overdose deaths.
"We're not only talking a lot about this issue, but we're doing quite a bit," Baker said after signing the bill the passed the Legislature on the final day of formal sessions last week.
