Julio Resto was arraigned Wednesday afternoon in Waltham District Court on one count of murder and seven counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, according to the news station. He was held until a Tuesday, Jan. 6, bail hearing.

The victim, Gloria Resto, 42, worked at Sapphire Salon at 12 Warren St. in Waltham, according to the Boston Globe. She was a mother of two.

According to 7News, Julio Resto went to the Waltham police station at about 5:20 a.m. Wednesday and was taken into custody after being shot by a beanbag. He had a knife at the station, admitted to the crime and asked police to shoot him, according to NECN.
