Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, his girlfriend Karen Read and a group of other friends, including fellow officers, went out drinking at C.F. McCarthy's bar in Canton, Massachusetts at around 9 p.m. A major snowstorm had begun.

Karen Read was acquitted in the killing of her Boston police officer boyfriend John O’Keefe on Wednesday, clearing of her the most serious charges – though she was convicted of drunk driving.

Karen Read spoke to reporters outside Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham, Massachusetts after she was found not guilty of all charges except operating under the influence.
