A man was shot and killed by police in New Hampshire during a confrontation early Monday morning, according to Attorney General John M. Formella.
Authorities including the New Hampshire State Police SWAT team were called to a home in Franklin for a report of a barricaded suspect following an armed disturbance in the early morning hours of Nov. 20.
Residents in area of Central and West Bow Streets were forced to shelter in place as a result, Formella said. That order has since been lifted, according to the attorney general. The man died after he was shot during the confrontation. His name has yet to be released.
“An autopsy will be scheduled by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner,” Formella said. “No law enforcement officers have been physically injured and there is no threat to the public.”
The names of the officers involved in the shooting have yet to be released. The exact circumstances surrounding the incident remain under investigation, Formella concluded.
