The 23-year-old son of a Boston police captain said he wanted to execute “sinful” college students in a massacre similar to the marathon bombings — and then broadcast the carnage over the

Alexander Ciccolo is the estranged son of Boston police Capt. Robert Ciccolo, who turned his son in to authorities, a law enforcement official told bostonherald.com yesterday.
