Multiple victims in New Hampshire Hospital shooting, police say

Authorities are investigating a shooting at New Hampshire State Hospital in Concord, authorities announced in a statement.

There are believed to be multiple victims, though it’s not yet known how many. Details are limited but officials said additional updates would be released when available.

At around 4.45pm, the New Hampshire Department of Homeland Security and Management said the situation has been contained and the suspect is dead. The scene remains active.

Aerial images of the hospital show a large number of police responding to the incident on Friday afternoon.

The facility is the state’s “premier” psychiatric facility, the state’s Department of Health and Human Services website says. Concord is just 120 miles southwest of Lewiston, Maine, where 18 people were killed and 13 others were injured in shootings last month.
