 Bill Haberman, WPRO News. New Bedford's mayor visited the shooting scene today, John Mitchell, saying in a statement, "...we will track down those responsible and hold them accountable, and we will take all necessary and appropriate steps to address the risk of retaliation." Massachusetts State Police today suspended Trooper Michael Proctor without pay. He read aloud his crude text messages during the Karen Reed murder trial, and when the trial ended in a mistrial, he was relieved of duty.
