2 min read

A SWAT team killed a man with a gun who had locked himself in a bed and breakfast in New Hampshire after a battle that lasted for hours early Thursday morning, according to officials.

New Hampshire Attorney General John M. Formella said that when police arrived at the Federal House Inn on Route 25 in Plymouth just before 3 p.m. on Wednesday to investigate a report of a disturbance, they heard sounds like gunshots and found an armed man inside.

The Federal House Inn is close to Plymouth Municipal Airport and in the middle of the Granite State’s Lakes and White Mountains areas.

Formella’s office said that members of the New Hampshire State Police Crisis Negotiation and SWAT teams were sent to the Inn and talked to the armed suspect for about 10 hours.

Formella says that just before 1 a.m., six members of the SWAT team opened fire on the man. At the scene, they said he was dead.

Formella’s office said in a new news release, “Following the shooting, the person was found near a first-floor doorway suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.”

The name of the victim is being kept secret until the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner schedules an autopsy. The troopers who were involved in the shooting are also not being named until official interviews are over.

Nobody in the public is in danger, and no police officers were hurt.

The exact events that led to the killing are still being looked into.
