• Police in Lawrence are asking people in the Winding Ridge community to go out at first light and see if anything looks ‘off’ or unusual -and call it in- after a deadly shooting there. It happened on Birmingham Drive. Police describe the victim as a “juvenile male” – but won’t yet say if it was a child or teenager.
• The Hamilton County coroner has identified more human remains found at the site of suspected serial killer’s home. Jeffrey Jones was from Putnam County and disappeared in 1993. Coroner Jeff Jellison says remains from Jones were among the bone fragments and teeth found at Herb Baumeister’s former Westfield home in the mid-1990s – but never identified until now.
• Norway, Ireland and Spain say they are recognizing a Palestinian state. Ireland’s prime minister says his country coordinated the announcement with the other two – calling it a historic and important day. Spain’s leader said, “There cannot be peace in the Middle East if there is no recognition”.

Next up: Game 2, also in Boston, tomorrow night.
