After a whirlwind World Cup romance, Boston and the city of Glasgow, Scotland, are getting hitched.

Scottish fans have descended on Boston over the past week during the World Cup, drinking Boston pubs dry and marching to Red Sox games at Fenway Park. They’ve also been credited with bringing positive vibes to the city, and their stories have been shared in countless social media posts.

Now, Boston is cementing that relationship by coming sister cities with the biggest city in Scotland, Glasgow.

With some of the top international soccer stars in the area for the World Cup, a barber in Waltham, Massachusetts, is getting them ready for the sport’s biggest stage.

It’s a solid beach day all around, and great weather for the third World Cup match at Boston Stadium as Scotland faces off against Morocco.

A pregnant woman opened fire at a Massachusetts hotel overnight, injuring a bystander who was in the lobby before shooting and killing herself, officials said.

According to Worcester County District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr., the woman arrived at the Sturbridge Plaza Hotel on Haynes Street around 1 a.m. looking for two people. He did not specify the relationship between the three people involved, but described the situation as domestic violence.

“This case is very complicated and we won’t be able to talk about many aspects of the case due to our domestic violence statute laws,” Early said.

A former Canton police sergeant who testified in the high-profile Karen Read murder trial has had his Massachusetts law enforcement certification suspended.

The vote to suspend Sean Goode by the Peace Officer Standards and Training, or POST, Commission on Thursday comes after derogatory text messages he allegedly sent were included in a civil lawsuit filed by Read against Canton police and Massachusetts State Police.
