 This afternoon, Hopkinton police say the man who killed his estranged wife over the weekend was arrested in May of this year on domestic violence charges. They say a number of guns were confiscated and a restraining order was issued. Joseph Francis was pulled dead from his rolled over SUV on Saturday after a series of police chases in South County. But questions to the state police, again, didn't make a public statement about this whole thing for 36 hours after that deadly shooting late Friday night into Saturday.
