WBZ via CNN(CNN) - A gas leak that forced the evacuation of some 100 people in Lawrence, Massachusetts, last week happened when road workers inadvertently closed a gas valve that should have been disabled previously, state authorities told CNN. Friday's evacuations came a year after Lawrence and two nearby communities were hit by a string of gas explosions that killed at least one person. Friday's leak happened when road workers who were checking water valves inadvertently closed a gas valve, puncturing an active main line, the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities told CNN Monday in a joint statement with the city and Columbia Gas. No injuries, fires or explosions were reported as a result of Friday's leak, Lawrence Fire Chief Brian Moriarty said.

WBZ via CNNLANSING, Michigan (CNN) - Michigan is now officially a no-kill state for shelter animals, WILX-TV reported. To be a no-kill state, 90 percent of animals must be returned to owners, transferred to other shelters and rescues or adopted, the station said. "When the shelters in a state combine to meet the 90 percent target, that state is considered no-kill for shelter animals. Only Delaware, which has three shelters, compared to 174 in Michigan, also reached the no-kill benchmark last year." According to the MPFA, approximately 120,000 dogs and cats were being euthanized in Michigan shelters every year then.
