Wife of Worcester cop on the run as advocacy background surfaces

Karen Solomon, 58, wife of Kurt Solomon, a 57-year Worcester Police Department veteran, is being sought for questioning in connection with his death after police found his body early Tuesday following a medical emergency call. Newly released surveillance shows her calmly walking away from their Worcester home about 10 minutes after the call, triggering a multi-agency manhunt with authorities warning she is presumed armed. Solomon is an award-winning advocate for officer mental health through the nonprofit First H.E.L.P. and a public author, but as of Thursday no charges have been filed and the cause of death has not yet been released.

In Utah, two helicopter pilots died on a separate blaze, and Canada’s British Columbia reports 103 active wildfires near Okanagan Lake as storms threaten new ignitions. Officials say drought conditions and an unusually warm season are driving the intense fire activity.
