Angered, perhaps, by the slighted driver’s protestations, the suspect allegedly stumbled to the House’s glass side-door, shoved someone through it, and went on his merry way. Though his victim wound up hospitalized, the details of the attack remain hazy; interim House Masters Lee and Deb Gehrke, in an email to Quincy residents, wrote enigmatically that, “the full details of the incident are not known, and may never be completely known...
