Officer resigns after shooting fellow officer

The south Georgia police officer involved in the accidental shooting death of a fellow officer has resigned. Ray Bradford voluntarily resigned Friday following the death of Officer Al Suarez.

Bradford was cleaning his service weapon last May at police headquarters in Boston in Thomas County, when the .40-caliber Glock went off. The bullet struck then-assistant chief Suarez in the chest, and he was later pronounced dead.

No criminal charges were expected to be filed against Bradford.

Bomb scare culprits say sorry

Two men who caused a bomb scare in Boston while promoting a show for Atlanta-based Turner Broadcasting System, have apologized. Peter Berdovsky and Sean Stevens allegedly planted three dozen blinking boxes around Boston and Cambridge January 31st. The city shut down highways and bridges thinking they could be part of an attack. The boxes were actually a cartoon character from a late-night TBS cartoon. Berdovsky and Stevens will do community service to resolve criminal charges of placing a hoax device and disorderly conduct.
