The Massachusetts State Retirement Board has yet to rule on applications for pensions from 12 Massachusetts state troopers accused of getting paid for shifts they didn't work.
Six of the troopers retired rather than appear at a duty status hearing that could have resulted in discipline.
A retired Worcester cop shot and wounded a 29-year-old man he found in his yard in the middle of the night, police said.
The 56-year-old man came upon the intruder between midnight and 1 a.m. Sunday. When he tried to escort him off the property, a fight ensued, and when the intruder threatened to shoot the homeowner, the homeowner shot him, according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.
