BOSTON (AP) — The man suspected of killing a Massachusetts police officer during a weekend traffic stop had a lengthy criminal record and had been released from a maximum-security prison in 2013, officials said Monday.
The suspect, 35-year-old Jorge Zambrano, was fatally shot by police late Sunday after he fired at them from a bedroom closet inside a duplex apartment in Oxford, investigators said. Oxford is about 7 miles from Auburn, where police Officer Ronald Tarentino was fatally shot early Sunday morning.
BOSTON – Frank DePaola, the general manager of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, will step down at the end of next month as he seeks to focus on his ongoing fight with cancer, state officials said Monday.
"As some of you know, Frank has been battling cancer for months and he has now come to the conclusion that he cannot focus adequately on his health and the treatment he needs while carrying out the heavy responsibilities of the GM's job," Transportation Secretary Stephanie Pollack said Monday in a memo.
