A shooting at the Sky Meadow Country Club in Nash, New Hampshire, has left one man dead and multiple others injured, according to law enforcement authorities. The incident occurred on Saturday, with the suspect identified as a male who entered the club and opened fire, according to the Attorney General’s Office. While the motive remains unclear, the suspect was apprehended at the scene and is currently in custody. The police department emphasized that there is no immediate threat to the public and that the investigation is ongoing.
The Sky Meadow Country Club, known for its golf course, dining, and event facilities, was the location of the incident, which has caused significant disruption to the area. Authorities have restricted public access to the Sky Meadow area and have designated the Sheraton Hotel located on Tara Boulevard in Nashua as the unification point for affected individuals. This is a critical measure to ensure the safety of the community and the continued investigation.
Initial reports from the scene indicated that multiple suspects had fled the area, but these were later corrected by the Attorney General’s Office, which confirmed that only one individual was involved in the shooting. The correction was made as the investigation progressed and more accurate information became available. This update has clarified the circumstances, but the exact details of the incident remain limited, as the investigation continues.
Local and state officials have spoken out about the tragic event, expressing their condolences and support to those affected. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., has stated that there is no place in their state for the type of senseless violence that occurred. Democratic Rep. Maggie Goodlander has also expressed her concern, emphasizing the community’s need for support as they await more information. The New Hampshire State Police are assisting the Nashua Police Department in the investigation.
The incident has drawn attention from neighboring communities, with officials in Dunstable, Massachusetts, issuing a shelter-in-place order for some neighborhoods before it was lifted. The community’s response has highlighted the impact of the event on the local area and the broader region. As the investigation continues, authorities are urging the public to remain informed and avoid the restricted areas as much as possible.
