COHASSET, Mass. (AP) — Detective Lt. Gregory Lennon glimpsed at the modest duplex from his patrol car while waiting for backup that was seconds behind. This was a wellbeing check, among the most common calls in this quiet seaside town near Boston, but Lennon knew better than to go in alone. Everything seemed quiet when Lennon stepped out of the cruiser and into the winter darkness to greet two arriving officers. The downstairs shades were up, lights on. It was two days after Christmas 2018, and Lennon was supposed to be home with his family. When an officer called in sick, Lennon agreed to cover a night shift.

Now a concerned mother wanted police to check on her 25-year-old son, who she said suffered from mental health challenges.
