A suspect and victim are both dead and the situation has been “contained” following a shooting at New Hampshire State Hospital in Concord, New Hampshire, according to the state’s Homeland Security and Emergency Management Office.
Authorities have assured that all of the patients at the hospital are safe and accounted for.
“Today an active shooter situation occurred at the New Hampshire State Hospital and was contained to the front lobby,” New Hampshire State Police Col. Mark Hall said. “There is no active shooter threat to the public. The scene remains active, as one suspicious vehicle has been located.”
Initially, New Hampshire State Police reported “multiple victims” in the shooting.
Subsequently, it was confirmed that only one individual was shot and transported to the hospital, but died later from their injuries. The suspect, who was confronted by a New Hampshire State trooper assigned to the hospital, was also shot and killed.
Authorities have not disclosed the names of the suspect or the victim.
The shooting occurred in the lobby of the hospital, according to New Hampshire State Police Director Col. Mark Hall.
The public is now being asked to avoid the area due to safety concerns.
The 185-bed facility is an acute psychiatric hospital. The hospital has its own uniformed security force and requires visitors to go through metal detectors.
Governor Chris Sununu released a statement regarding the hospital shooting.
“This afternoon, there was an incident at New Hampshire Hospital, which has been contained. While the scene remains active as the campus is cleared, the suspect is deceased.

How are authorities and agencies monitoring the situation at the hospital shooting?
Nt agencies are on the scene. We are monitoring the situation closely and working closely with the hospital and authorities to ensure the safety of patients, staff, and the community.”

This tragic event serves as a reminder of the ongoing issue of gun violence in our society. Shootings in public places, such as schools, workplaces, and now hospitals, continue to occur, causing fear and devastation in our communities. It is crucial that we address this issue and work towards finding solutions to prevent such incidents from happening.
One possible solution is stricter gun control measures, including background checks and limitations on the sale and possession of firearms. By implementing these measures, we can help prevent individuals with violent tendencies or mental health issues from obtaining firearms and potentially causing harm to others.
Additionally, increasing access to mental health services and support is essential. Many shootings are carried out by individuals who have struggled with mental health issues and have not received the help they needed. By providing adequate resources and support, we can intervene and prevent tragedies from occurring.
Furthermore, creating a culture of reporting and addressing concerning behaviors can also play a significant role in preventing future shootings. Encouraging individuals to speak up and report any signs of potential violence can help authorities intervene before it’s too late.
It is important that we come together as a society to address the issue of gun violence and work towards finding effective solutions. Our safety and the safety of our loved ones should be a top priority, and it is time to take action to prevent further tragedies.
As more details about the New Hampshire State Hospital shooting emerge, it is crucial that we stay informed and support those affected by this tragic event. Let us stand united in our efforts to create a safer and more peaceful society.
