REVERE, Mass. (AP) — Massachusetts State Police temporarily closed Revere Beach because of a pair of shootings that injured three people as violence erupted over the holiday weekend. The popular beach reopened on Memorial Day, hours after bedlam erupted Sunday evening in Revere, about four miles (six kilometers) north of Boston. Two people were shot and one person was grazed by a bullet, but none of the injuries were believed to be life-threatening, state police said. A teenager questioned in one of the shootings was arrested for illegal possession of a firearm, state police said, but the investigation was ongoing to determine whether the teen was involved in the incidents.
