ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — In one of the presidential campaign year's more grisly spectacles, demonstrators at a Donald Trump rally in New Mexico threw burning T-shirts, plastic bottles and other items at police officers, injuring several, and toppled trash cans and barricades. Authorities labeled it a "riot."
Police responded by firing pepper spray and smoke grenades into the crowd outside the Albuquerque Convention Center.
The Senate on Tuesday tacked onto its budget a directive for the University of Massachusetts to study the feasibility of installing on every campus a system to detect gunfire and alert the authorities.
The amendment filed by West Roxbury Sen. Michael Rush requires the UMass system to look into installing "an indoor active shooter detection and reporting system in all student accessible buildings on all University of Massachusetts campuses" and report back by March 2017.
