A shooting at the New Hampshire State Hospital in Concord has resulted in the death of a suspect and the safety of all patients. The shooting occurred in the front lobby of the hospital, but the situation is now contained, according to New Hampshire State Police Col. Mark Hall. Although the suspect's identity has not been released, it has been confirmed that the suspect was killed by a state trooper who was on duty at the hospital. The shooting victim, identified as 63-year-old Bradley Haas, a New Hampshire Department of Safety security officer, was provided CPR and taken to the hospital but succumbed to their injuries.
The New Hampshire Hospital, an acute psychiatric facility with its own security force, underwent a thorough search following the shooting. Authorities located a suspicious vehicle at the scene but determined that it did not pose a safety risk. The incident has prompted a call center to be established by the state Department of Health and Human Services for the families of patients at the hospital.
