On Friday afternoon, Bradley Haas, 63 of Franklin, was killed while beginning his shift at the hospital by 33-year-old John Madore, whom the police described as a transient. Haas had been with the hospital since 2019 and was formerly Franklin’s police chief. The state police have not said what brought Madore to the hospital or whether he was connected to a U-Haul they found running in the parking lot with an AR-style rifle, tactical vest, and several magazines of ammunition inside.

The vigil will take place on the soccer fields near the hospital, at the corner of South Fruit and Clinton streets in Concord.
