CONCORD, NH — Concord police and the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office are investigating a fatal shooting in Downtown Concord on Saturday.
Limited information is available at post time but at just before 11:45 a.m., police were sent to the Firehouse Block Apartments on Warren Street for a report of a man, with a prior and lengthy criminal history, busting down the door of an apartment, according to dispatch. After hearing the banging on the door, the caller heard gunshots.
Police arrived and spoke to the tenant, who was "being very cooperative," according to an officer. Concord firefighters were requested to check on the body which was reportedly not moving. Officers secured the apartment before EMTs could check the body.
