And they were worried about a riot from fans at Yankee Stadium?!?
The celebration turned deadly outside of Fenway Park. An Emerson College student died this afternoon from injuries suffered last night after she hit in the head by a projectile fired from a bean-bag gun used by police to subdue the crowd.
More than 2,000 UMass Amherst students gathered around a huge bonfire at a campus pond. Twenty-nine people were arrested, not all of them students. Most were charged with disorderly conduct or inciting a riot.
One officer suffered minor injuries while making an arrest.
The fun wasn’t limited to Boston. Rioting also broke out at the University of Vermont. More than 1,000 people set fires, toppled light poles and fences. One van was also flipped on its side.
Although police used rubber pellets to disperse the crowd, no injuries were reported.
