Morrissey said Millis police officers responded to a report of a stabbing at Primavera restaurant on Pleasant Street, where they found Walsh's parents suffering from stab wounds.
Jerry Gaita, the owner of Primavera, says Walsh's family was celebrating a birthday at the restaurant when Walsh showed up and suddenly attacked, stabbing his mother and father until family members could pull him off.
"I went over to where Benjamin was laying down on the floor, they had him down and Millis police arrived with EMTs."
After taking Walsh into custody, officers learned they had to do a well-being check at his girlfriend's Marshall Street apartment, which is when Bergstrom was found dead, Morrissey said.
The district attorney would not comment on how many times the victims had been stabbed.
