Cape Cod, MA – Before sunrise this morning, hundreds of cyclists set out from Bourne, pushing off at 5 a.m. as part of the Annual Pan-Mass Challenge, making their way across the Cape to finish at the Pilgrim Monument in Provincetown.

As the riders crossed the Cape, they were met with an outpouring of support. Spectators, families, and entire communities lined the roads, clapping, cheering, and holding signs of encouragement for those riding with one goal in mind: to fight cancer.

The Pan-Mass Challenge is more than just a bike ride – it’s a mission. Each mile ridden helps raise critical funds for cancer research and patient care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The PMC remains the single largest donor to the Jimmy Fund, fueling hope and progress in the battle against cancer.

BREAKING: 18-Hour Standoff in Cambridge Ends with Suspect in Custody

Cambridge, MA – A tense standoff that lasted nearly 18 hours came to an end Saturday afternoon when police took a barricaded suspect into custody.

The incident began early Friday evening when a man allegedly slashed another individual with a machete before retreating to his apartment and barricading himself inside. Residents of the six-story building reported a significant police presence around 5:00 p.m.

Due to the suspect being armed, Cambridge Police requested assistance from their Special Response Team (SRT). Late Friday night, officers deployed tear gas in an attempt to compel the suspect to surrender. However, he remained inside.

Unintentionally, the tear gas entered the building’s ventilation system, exposing several residents who had been sheltering in place. Cambridge Fire responded to assist in ventilation and evacuate the building. An ambulance strike team was assembled, and multiple residents were transported to the hospital for evaluation.

By early Saturday morning, some residents were allowed to return to their homes as negotiations with the suspect continued.

At approximately 12:50 p.m. Saturday, police were able to safely take the suspect into custody. He was transported to the hospital for evaluation. Detectives are currently processing the scene and searching for any additional weapons.

It is currently unclear what charges the suspect will face.
