***  WATCH ***  HYANNIS FD INVESTIGATING AFTER TWO LARGE BOATS CATCH FIRE?
Tuesday May 20, 2025
HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS ? [HN VIDEO NOTES] ?  As you will see and hear in the following HN video, at around 11:00 p.m. last evening, Hyannis Firefighters responded to 30 Cit Ave for a report of a structure fire. Firefighters found two large boats with heavy fire in both of them, with flames spreading to nearby scrub pines and brush. As you will hear in a brief interview with Captain Jonathan Talin of the Hyannis FD, firefighters were able to ensure adjacent apartments were fully evacuated with the assistance of Barnstable police officers. Firefighters needed to force their way through a chain link fence in order to begin battling the flames. It took 30 to 40 minutes to bring the flames under control. At the time of this report, there's no indication of what started the fire, which is still being investigated by the Hyannis Fire Department. A member of the Barnstable County Sheriff's Crime Scene Unit responded to take photos of the scene. There were no reported injuries. [HN VIDEO ? PRESS PLAY] P.S. ?

Tuesday May 20, 2025
ABOVE: A man reportedly suffering multiple stab wounds was airlifted last evening from a landing zone at the Cape Cod Regional Technical High School in Harwich to a Boston area trauma hospital? [Harwich FD photo/ HN edits]   HARWICH, MASSACHUSETTS ? In a media statement, Cape & Islands District Attorney Robert J. Galibois announced today that Tatiana Jacobs, 26 years old, of Hyannis, MA, has been charged and arraigned for her involvement in the stabbing of a 33-year-old male, in Harwich MA.  [Note: No state police booking photo of suspect was provided with the DA's statement?] On Sunday May 18, 2025, at approximately 8:14 p.m., (see earlier HN report) Troopers with the MA State Police were dispatched to Route 6 eastbound around mile marker 82 in Harwich for a report of a party that had fallen out of a vehicle. Upon arriving on scene Troopers observed a male laying on his back with a large pool of ?reddish-brown substance? around him. It was observed that the victim was suffering from multiple injuries to his upper body. The victim was transported by medflight to a Boston area hospital for treatment. As HN reported earlier, the male victim was suffering very serious wounds, ?while responding to the landing zone, EMTs could be heard describing the patient to the responding Medflight helicopter.   According to radio transmissions, the patient was described as a male, approximately 32-years-old, approximately 185 lbs., suffering ?multiple stab wounds,? along with trauma from 'exiting a moving vehicle.' At one point, the patient was described as having an 'arterial bleed.'? The DA's media statement continues as follows: The initial investigation revealed earlier that same evening, at approximately 7:54 p.m. in the town of Barnstable, officers were dispatched to a reported disturbance of a man and woman fighting in a parking lot. Upon arrival officers spoke to witnesses that reported that the two individuals who were fighting had left the scene. Officers observed a vehicle in the parking lot that had a smashed windshield and all four tires flattened. The tires appeared to have been flattened due to slice or puncture marks in the tires with a sharp object. The vandalized vehicle belongs to the victim found in Harwich. Tatiana Jacobs was arraigned in the Orleans District Court on Monday, May 19, 2025, on the charges of Armed Assault to Murder. The defendant was held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for Friday 5/23/25 in the Orleans District Court. The Cape & Islands District Attorney's Office reiterates that all defendants are presumed innocent. In addition, WHDH in Boston is now reporting that Tatiana Jacobs is currently a cadet at the Barnstable County Sheriff's recruit training academy?

Yarmouth Police and Firefighters responded to Willow Street shortly before midnight last evening for a report of man with a gunshot wound. According to Yarmouth Police sources, a motorist discovered a man on one of the ramps to Route 6 suffering from a gunshot wound to his arm. The motorist began driving the injured male to Cape Cod Hospital. While en route to CCH, a phone call was made to police. Police instructed the Good Samaritan to pull over on Willow Street in the area of Eversource, where police and EMTs began providing first aid to the patient. The patient was immediately transported to CCH in an ambulance as police began investigating what happened. The patient's gunshot wound to his arm was not believed to be life-threatening, sources say. Massachusetts State Troopers were immediately alerted because the shooting could have possibly happened somewhere on Route 6. Meanwhile, investigating officers were having a difficult time gathering information from the patient because of a ?language barrier.? Officers began checking Route 6, Willow Street (see above HN photo), and other Yarmouth locations for possible leads and evidence related to the shooting. Officers were also on the lookout for a potential suspect vehicle, but details regarding what actually happened and where the shooting actually occurred remain unclear at the time of this report? Deputy Chief Andrew O'Malley spoke with HN at Yarmouth Police Headquarters early this morning. He described a puzzling investigation that remains very much active and ongoing at the time of this report. [DEVELOPING ?

West Main Street was completely shut down in the vicinity of the crash as first responders worked the scene.

According to Yarmouth Police sources, a motorist discovered a man on one of the ramps to Route 6 suffering from a gunshot wound to his arm. The motorist began driving the injured male to Cape Cod Hospital. While en route to CCH, a phone call was made to police. Police instructed the Good Samaritan to pull over on Willow Street in the area of Eversource, where police and EMTs began providing first aid to the patient. The patient was immediately transported to CCH in an ambulance as police began investigating what happened. The patient's gunshot wound to his arm was not believed to be life-threatening, sources say. Massachusetts State Troopers were immediately alerted because the shooting could have possibly happened somewhere on Route 6. Meanwhile, investigating officers were having a difficult time gathering information from the patient because of a ?language barrier.? Officers began checking Route 6, Willow Street (see above HN photo), and other Yarmouth locations for possible leads and evidence related to the shooting. Officers were also on the lookout for a potential suspect vehicle, but details regarding what actually happened and where the shooting actually occurred remain unclear at the time of this report? Deputy Chief Andrew O'Malley spoke with HN at Yarmouth Police Headquarters early this morning. He described a puzzling investigation that remains very much active and ongoing at the time of this report. [DEVELOPING ?

Yarmouth Police and Firefighters responded to Willow Street shortly before midnight last evening for a report of man with a gunshot wound. According to Yarmouth Police sources, a motorist discovered a man on one of the ramps to Route 6 suffering from a gunshot wound to his arm. The motorist began driving the injured male to Cape Cod Hospital. While en route to CCH, a phone call was made to police. Police instructed the Good Samaritan to pull over on Willow Street in the area of Eversource, where police and EMTs began providing first aid to the patient. The patient was immediately transported to CCH in an ambulance as police began investigating what happened. The patient's gunshot wound to his arm was not believed to be life-threatening, sources say. Massachusetts State Troopers were immediately alerted because the shooting could have possibly happened somewhere on Route 6. Meanwhile, investigating officers were having a difficult time gathering information from the patient because of a ?language barrier.? Officers began checking Route 6, Willow Street (see above HN photo), and other Yarmouth locations for possible leads and evidence related to the shooting. Officers were also on the lookout for a potential suspect vehicle, but details regarding what actually happened and where the shooting actually occurred remain unclear at the time of this report? Deputy Chief Andrew O'Malley spoke with HN at Yarmouth Police Headquarters early this morning. He described a puzzling investigation that remains very much active and ongoing at the time of this report. [DEVELOPING ?
