the middle school and upper school, immediately cancelled classes and everybody came together to pray. at first we heard he was hurt and in surgery, in critical condition, so we were praying for his safety and his recovery. and then we got the news that it was too late. reporter: there are about 200 members here at this synagogue. so obviously a very tight-knit community. coming up tonight at 6:00, the rabbi here remembers this young victim. we're live in sharon, john atwater, wcvb newscenter 5. >> to the weather. 55 in needham. harvey joins us now with much needed rain about to move in. >> but we have to be prepared. >> the timing is important for some of you, for part of tomorrow morning's commute. it's also turned milder. temperatures rising through the 50's and will go even higher tonight. the winds are starting to pick up out of the south and that trend will continue. as for the rain, we've just had a little bit of damp weather. few little spots of rain moving

through. there's a little more starting to show up, just to the west of boston. just to the west of worcester. but that's not the heavier rain. that's moving in from philadelphia to new york city. and even that is slated for western and central massachusetts within a few hours from now. but there's more on the way after that. by 8:00 tonight, if you're out worcester way, you're getting wetter. by the time we get to 11:00, it's moving into the boston area, some of the steadier rain. heaviest is still wooster across the connecticut river valley. right along i-95 tomorrow morning, foxborough, atborough, from points east, that's where the heavy downpours will be. by tend of the morning commute, then the rain is being confined to cape cod and sliding off shore after that. we'll let you know about the following that in a few minutes. >> this is new at 5:30. the mother of a 17-year-old girl who died of a heroin overdose was back in a new hampshire courtroom. >> a judge now deciding if

jazzmyn rood should strange a string of -- should face a string of charges, including child endangerment. >> the case is mostly based on what she didn't do, in the events surrounding her daughter, eve's death. according to detectives, rood, her boyfriend mark ross and another woman were all shooting heroin in a hotel room in rochester at the time of eve's death last month. rood allegedly knew that ross was going to give her daughter heroin but she went into the bathroom rather than watch what was about to happen. >> did you think -- why she would want to be in the room at that point? >> she didn't want to see it. she was the mother. she had many emotions. she didn't want to see it. >> and it's at that point that the defense argues, leaving the room proves that rood has nothing to do with her daughter's overdose. the judge did not make a ruling today, taking the case under advisement. rood remains behind bars. >> sky 5 over the boston police station in the south end where four police officers are recovering after being exposed

that suspect claiming he was there to meet a friend. >> the whole reason they rang the doorbell is because the individual said he knew me. reporter: this man, who asked to be known only as jeff, says the arrest was made in front of his home. he says he woke up to flashing lights, officers comericaing the area and -- combing the area and a stranger on his steps. >> police said, do you know this individual? i said no. reporter: officers then arresting the suspect, transported him back here. were taken to boston medical center. released. okay. frank holland, wcvb newscenter 5. >> the candidates vying for the white house laying out their foreign policy plans. >> still to come, tonight, what pat defeat isis. >> plus, the website inspiring

>> a florida mother demanding answers after a fight between her son and a teacher resulted in a chair student. orlaundra pryor says her son, isaiah, was walking to class when he made a smart remark to the teacher. as the fight continued to escalate, a classmate began flim

filming. now, pryor says the teacher is the aggressor, continuing to provoke her son, who never touched the teacher. tonight pryor wants more than just an apology. >> i want him fired. i want him to lose his job so he can understand, yes, he has a family to provide for, yes, he has bills to pay. so do i. and i have a child to take care of, that he put his hands on. >> the school district is still investigating but says the teacher has been placed on non-school-related duty. >> so there's buying items in stores to donate. there's buying everything in a store to donate. a new york woman did just that. carol suchman is her name. she noticed a "for rent" sign outside of a toy star. instead of renting, she decided to buy everything inside that store. she donated all of the items to homeless. all toys, school supplies and stuffed animals were bagged up and sent along fantastic! we seem to see a lot of those stories in the news this year. i like it. >> i know. just the thoughtfulness and the

giving back and paying it love it! >> that's right. we should not forget thanksgiving is coming up. i can already tell you that the weather looks pretty calm and tranquil around here. but i want to talk about the lack of moisture this year. look at this. boston has over 9 inches below normal in total precipitation. and worcester is over 8 inches below. we have been dry and we're going to get a little from that. but, again, you can see the deficit, even in the month of november, let alone the year. now, we're certainly not going to make all of that up in one storm. the average amount is going to be about an inch of rain around the area, only about 10% of the deficit. but that is a significant amount of rain out of one system. then, of course, it all comes into the timing. right now we're seeing little spots of light rain or drizzle breaking out here and there, around boston, just to the north of i-93. you can also see a little spot here, close to amherst.

but the heavier rains, that's in a cluster for about philadelphia to new york city, now on to southwest connecticut. that is kind of destined for hartford, springfield, worcester. then there's more around the carolina close. that's going to get eastern new england. as we take you out in time, here's how it breaks down. 8:00 tonight, steady rains, around worcester. by 9, 10, 11, getting into the boston area. now you can see some of the heavier downpours. even a rumble of thunder. then that moves eastward. the start of the morning commute tomorrow, especially in the early part of that commute, could be very wet from boston to providence, down towards southeastern mass, cape cod and the islands, right up till about 7:00 in boston, maybe 8:00. lingering a little longer on the cape, till about 9:00, 10:00. then the weather will improve. so tomorrow afternoon looks a lot different than the way the day starts. other thing i want to point out

be in reasonably good shape saturday, although there will be high clouds filtering the sun. it will be a dry day for you coming up on saturday. here are the temperatures. in the 50's. it's 60 right now in hartford. this is all being helped, the warm-up, by a southerly wind. that's starting to get gusty in spots. 23-mile-per-hour gusts, 22 in hartford. it will be breezy to windy at times overnight and temperatures backwards. they're actually going to be climbing through the 50's. then as the rain ends tomorrow morning, the front comes through and it starts to turn colder as the winds out of the northwest. a slightly upside down day where it's cooler later in the day than it is to start. on saturday, 20's and 30's to start, 40's during the afternoon hours. here's the way it looks over the next seven days. you've got the wet weather to start. better weather coming in later on friday. a dry, chilly saturday. one small system to come through sunday, just really a front,

which may have a couple of showers. most of this action stays offshore, i believe. chilly weather for early next week. for the patriots game, i'm predicting about 29 degrees for the start of the game. so easily the coldest weather so far for any patriots game. but, of course, we are hoping that the result is the same. even though the temperatures will be a little bit colder. all right. that's how things are shaping up. see you at 6:00. >> harv, thanks. the nfl asking an appeals court to uphold a plan to settle thousands of concussion lawsuits filed by former players. under the proposed $1 billion plan, those diagnosed with alzheimer's, parkinson's and other brain diseases could receive up to $7 million each. but the ex-players are appealing, saying the plan does not cover those with depression, seizures or a specific brain decay found in dozens of players like former patriots linebacker junior seau, after their death. >> opening on saturday at the essex museum in salem, a first of a kind exhibition.
