Suspect had three guns on bus

A 20-year-old Canadian man suspected in two killings of sex offenders in Maine had three loaded handguns when police surrounded the bus he was riding near South Station, MBTA Transit Police said today.

Deputy Chief John Martino said two guns were found on Stephen A. Marshall and the third, which Marshall used to kill himself, was found by his side Sunday night.

Marshall was being sought in connection with the Sunday shooting deaths of Joseph L. Gray, 57, of Milo, and William Elliott, 24, of Corinth, who were both listed on Maine's online registry of convicted sex offenders.

MBTA Transit Police were alerted that Marshall might be on a bus headed to South Station by Maine State Police after bullets were found in a Bangor bus terminal, Martino said. It is not clear where Marshall was ultimately headed, Martino said.
