A 23-year-old New Hampshire man is accused of killing his mother in her Wakefield home and then trying to attack responding officers with a knife in the home’s basement before they shot him, according to authorities.
Timothy Martin, of Manchester, allegedly killed 61-year-old Pamela Wood, a speech therapist at Wakefield Public Schools. He was brought to Lahey Hospital and Medical Center and was in the intensive care unit Tuesday afternoon after undergoing surgery, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said at a press conference.
Charges against Martin were expected to be filed on Tuesday, according to Ryan. She didn’t elaborate on what those would be.
