BOSTON, MA - A suspect has been arrested following a shooting in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, which left one man seriously injured. The Boston Police Department reported the arrest of 25-year-old Christian Coloma of Roslindale on Monday, July 29, 2024, at approximately 2:38 PM.

The incident was initially reported through a shot spotter activation and a 911 call concerning a shooting at 245 Centre Street. Upon arrival, police found an adult male with a gunshot wound and provided immediate medical assistance. The victim was transported by Boston EMS to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Following a description provided by Boston Police Operations, officers spotted Coloma fleeing the scene on a green and black motorized scooter. A pursuit ensued through the streets of Jamaica Plain, culminating in Coloma abandoning the scooter and attempting to flee on foot. He was apprehended on Rockvale Circle after a brief foot chase, during which police recovered a discarded firearm along his escape route.

Coloma faces charges including unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and refusal to submit to a police officer. He is scheduled for arraignment at Roxbury District Court.

TRENTON, NJ — New Jersey Democrats, who recently led initiatives to reduce plastic waste by banning single-use plastic straws, are now facing criticism for their widespread use of plastic campaign signs.

As the state gears up for upcoming elections, roads and lawns are increasingly dotted with these signs, which critics argue undermine efforts to curb plastic waste.

Despite the push to limit plastic usage in daily life, the very materials targeted by environmental regulations are prominently featured in campaign efforts across the state. Most of these plastic signs are non-recyclable, destined for landfills once the elections conclude.

Under New Jersey law, it is illegal for restaurants and businesses to provide customers with plastic straws unless they are requested. BUsinesses can face large fines for violating the law. New Jersey businesses are also banned from providing plastic bags in grocery and retail stores.

"In #NewJersey, you can’t get a plastic bag for your groceries, but @RepJoshG can litter highways with his plastic signs. There were many more condensed areas than this. Dems are hypocrites. We are merely serfs in their kingdom. #NJCD5 deserves better. #America deserves better," said Dr. Runge Kutta, on X.

Environmental advocates have expressed disappointment, highlighting the inconsistency between the state's environmental policy and political practices. "It’s frustrating to see steps taken to reduce plastic straw use, only to turn around and see plastic campaign signs litter every corner," noted one local environmental activist. "These signs may serve a temporary purpose but pose long-term problems for our landfills and ecosystems."

The situation presents a complex challenge for New Jersey Democrats, who have positioned themselves as leaders in environmental stewardship. As the election season progresses, the debate continues on how best to balance effective campaign strategies with sustainable practices. Critics are calling for innovative solutions that maintain electoral visibility without compromising on environmental commitments.
