WCAI News Director Sean Corcoran hosts a roundup of the top local and regional stories of the week. Joining Sean is George Brennan, a reporter at the Cape Cod Times; and Jim DeArruda, the editorial page editor at the New Bedford Standard Times.

Among the stories they discuss this week: An early-morning shooting incident in Bourne left one woman dead and two people injured, including a veteran Bourne police officer; there's a team of federal inspectors at the Pilgrim nuclear Power Station, which experienced an emergency shutdown during the blizzard along with several other malfunctions; the Army Corps of Engineers is considering dredging the Cape Cod Canal and using the sand on nearby beaches; three bald eagles were rehabilitated after being found sick on the South Coast; and electricity customers get their first bill after a steep rate hike.
