May 2: Murder-Suicide in Bellmore, Cat Colony Relocation on Hold

Five things you need to know today.

1. Tragically, four North Bellmore children came home to find their mother dead on the kitchen floor and their father locked in an upstairs bedroom. Police believe this was a murder-suicide. To read the most up-to-date details, see the story here.

2. In Bellmore, the Town of Hempstead attempted to relocate a feral cat colony. After protests by some of the locals, the Town has put the relocation attempt on hold. See the full story here.

3. In case you missed it: Did you participate in Run with the Rams? Patch was there to cover the action. Check out some of our pictures and see if we caught you!

4. A swarm of bees took over part of a vehicle in Merrick. A reader snapped a photo to share with the community. See it here.

5. Wednesday at 8 p.m. is the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District meeting and the board is expected to announce a new assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction.

The School board is a bunch of morons if they want to remove this designation! There were 0 problemsRead More like this when Malucci was in office, this new superintendent is a waste of space, money, and cares more about his own paycheck then our kids! Between school security, and now this, I motion that we get rid of that skell!
