STATE HOUSE — Gov. Charlie Baker praised President Barack Obama's decision to address the nation Sunday night and voiced support for a Marblehead Democrat's gun bill.
The president addressed the nation from the Oval Office in a short speech where he said the two alleged perpetrators of the mass-murder of 14 people in San Bernardino, Calif., had "gone down the dark path of radicalization, embracing a perverted interpretation of Islam that calls for war against America," and said the U.S. military would "continue to hunt down terrorist plotters in any country where it is necessary."
