field, a kid who gives her life to community service has her life taken away on that very first day, it's just not right. kelley: guindon became a marine after graduation. she was sworn in as a police officer in virginia on friday. two other officers were also injured in the shooting. guindon was born in springfield. her uncle is on the force there. live in merrimack, new hampshire, kelley tuthill, wcvb, newscenter 5. emily: new this morning: we are now learning tamerlan tsarnaev passed his u.s. citizenship test just three months before he and his brother attacked the boston marathon. new records released to "the boston globe" show the elder tsarnaev swore his allegiance to the united states at the federal building in boston. he also denied any links to terrorism. the released documents also include information about ibragim todashev. he was killed by an f.b.i. agent in florida while being questioned about tsarnev. they show todashev applied for a green card twice and was denied partly because of missing

all in this together. erika: trump did later disavow duke's support. he also received a key endorsement yesterday from senator jeff sessions. he's the first sitting senator to back trump. randy: meantime a new poll shows hillary clinton with the edge in massachusetts heading into tomorrow's voting. the suffolk university poll giving clinton 50% of the vote; senator bernie sanders 42%. emily: right now, a domestic violence suspect is in the hospital after being shot by police in dartmouth. it happened when police responded to an incident between a mother and son at a home on dartmouth street yesterday. police say 23-year-old ryan kuphal charged at officers with a knife. when a taser failed to stop him, he was shot. kuphal listed in stable condition. right now chelsea police are trying to unravel a deadly mystery. 34-year-old alex perez was found dead on the sidewalk on cottage street sunday morning. family members tell us perez was a hard worker, a cook at a local restaurant who loved soccer.

"suspicious death" has left residents feeling uneasy. >> we were just working everyday. we wake up in the morning and go to work and we see someone laying in the street s that's like a different type of mind set. emily: police spent several ours inside and outside of 83 cottage street. but they will say little about what they believe caused perez's death. randy: right now worcester police are on the look-out for a van involved in a violent hit and run. a man and woman were seriously hurt after that van backed over them then took off. it happened outside a flea market on quinsigamond ave sunday afternoon. witnesses rushed to help the couple until an ambulance arrived. >> the lady, she looked way worse. she had scratches all over her hands, the back of her hands. her shirt was all ripped in her stomach area because that's where the tire went over. randy: the 58-year-old woman victim is still in the hospital. the man has been released.

massive deficit. the "t" says it has cut its projected deficit by 43 percent. that allows for about $100 million to be put back into repairs and winter preps. the additional savings could make it more difficult to persuade critics to raise fares. the "t" has proposed raising fares by an average of 10%. emily: boston in the "spotlight" at the oscars. the movie about the push to expose a scandal in the catholic church pulling off an upset win. and it made a little history in the process. randy: the eyeopener's doug meehan is live in boston with that and the overnight reaction from hollywood. doug: randy, emily, not since 1952 has a movie that picked up so few other academy awards gone on to win best picture. but "spotlight" certainly got the oscar that counts. the deal is it was a party in

the producers paid tribute to the journalists who inspired the film. it follows "the boston globe"'s investigative team as they work to expose abuse by priests throughout the boston archdiocese. overnight, actor liev schreiber, who plays former "globe" publisher marty baron, said he was immediately drawn to the part. >> when tom sent me the script, i called him immediately. i said this is such an amazing piece and so timely and so important that we remember what an asset this is to our society and our culture and our democracy. doug: in addition to the cast, some of ""the globe"" reporters profiled in the film were on stage for the big moment.

cindy: been such a mild winter. here we go again. take a look outside. skies are clear right now. there. we're headed up over 50 degrees again today. yesterday in boston our high officially 58 degrees and for the month of february, we are nearly two degrees above average in boston per day so it has been another warm month. if you back since the first of december when meteorological winter starts, december, january, february, most 50-degree or higher days than any other on record in boston. 34 through yesterday. we'll tack on another one today. today will be the 28th day in the worcester area that we jump up over 50 degrees so pretty incredible stuff. you can see the wind is active out there this morning. 10-20 miles per hour but that southwesterly wind has kept the temperatures up overnight so mid 40's out the door right now on the cape. same deal up to marshfield. beverly you're 44. 43 in boston right now. and we have upper 30's 1,000 feet up at the airport in worcester but skies are clear for now.

off to the west you can see the clouds advancing. a narrow little band of showers that is working toward us. as its comes toward us, i think it will be falling apart a little bit. this is associated with a frontal boundary. the leading edge of slightly cooler air. 20's and 30's behind that front. 40's and 50's ahead of it. an indication that tomorrow won't be as warm as today but we've got another nice afternoon. coming up into the 50's most spots. in fact, it could close in on 60 degrees up around the lawrence area. 57 boston. 50 in marshfield. that southwesterly wind keeping it closer to 50 degrees on cape cod. until 10:00 this morning, lots of sunshine. thereafter the clouds quickly fill in. there could be a couple of showers around the worcester area at lunchtime. that line starts to fall apart a little bit as we get toward later this afternoon and into this evening. things are pushing on out. so clearing skies behind this. just enough rain to dampen the roads where you see a shower and overnight we cool down. 20's to near the freezing mark out the door tomorrow morning so it's a colder day tomorrow but dry. next system is racing toward us here by wednesday morning.

a half an inch to an inch of rainfall before it pulls away on wednesday afternoon. so the timing on this is coming in tuesday night into wednesday morning. and initially it might be just cold enough in northern worcester county that there's a little bit of mixing going quickly on over to rain. the heaviest rain is through about lunchtime and then thereafter we're drying things out on your wednesday. it's a windy, warm day up in 2 the 50's. colder but mainly dry heading into the week until the start of the weekend. let's get you out to the roads. kevin: we have our first trouble spot of the morning not here on the expressway by the gas tank. you're seeing heffee volume here coming up through the gas tank on towards columbia road. then you're moving much better into the o'neill tunnel. let's go to the maps. farther south on the expressway we have a crash blocking two right lanes here at furnace brook parkway. really jamming things up on 93 north all the way back to route 24 in randolph. 95 and 24 itself not too bad headings up to 128. up to the north route 3 busier
