Double Shooting, Missing Teen, 'Lewd' Man, and More: MA Patch Today

By PATRICK LUCE (Patch Staff)

A double shooting; a “gross lewd man”; and a missing teenager. Those are just some of the stories on Massachusetts Patch today.

Two people were shot in Plymouth early Wednesday morning and police are hunting for the suspects. Meanwhile, in Acton, a man allegedly jumped out of the woods with his pants down, exposing him self to passers-by, and it’s reportedly not his first time. Authorities are also searching for a 17-year-old female missing from Lexington. She’s 5 feet, 11 inches, about 130 pounds, with blond hair, blue eyes, and a skinny build.

It’s not all police news today though. The nation is getting ready to celebrate its independence this weekend, and Massachusetts is no exception. Find out all you need to know about the 4th of July in the commonwealth:
