In addition, the piece claimed that the Allston community had lost a “grocery store,” when in fact no such establishment has closed. Also, it asserted that Harvard’s cranes in Allston are idle, when in fact they are still operating. Finally, it implied that the branch of Finale that recently opened in Allston...

...wanted to know why too, and we thought we had to answer them. What we should have said was, "We don't have any good information, and it would be irresponsible of us to say why." When you speculate in a case like this, it very quickly morphs into "fact." We started with the assumption that school shooters tend to be loners, outcasts and bullied. That turned out to be a myth: some are bullied, but not even 50%. The majority are not any of those things...
