Did you feel it? New England hit by another earthquake Sunday


A 2.0 magnitude earthquake occurred at 7:57 a.m. Sunday off the coast of Maine, the third quake in the same area in the past week. 

The epicenter was located around the same area as Monday’s 3.8 magnitude earthquake, about 8 miles southeast of York Harbor, Maine. This 2.0 is usually not damaging, but can possibly be felt by those near the coast of New Hampshire or Maine, with a depth of 7.8 miles. 

Early reports showed that people felt Sunday’s quake as far south as Boston and as far west as Concord, New Hampshire

No damage has been reported yet as a result of Sunday’s quake.

Monday’s earthquake was much larger and was felt across New England, from Connecticut all the way to northern New Hampshire. In southern Maine, many residents reported feeling houses and buildings shake as the surprising earthquake interrupted a sunny winter morning.

It was followed up by a second quake on Wednesday in the same general area around 3:15 a.m.

The USGS forecast shows an 8% chance of at least one aftershock at Magnitude 3 (and less than 1% for Magnitude 4-plus) within a week from Monday’s “mainshock.” Aftershock rates typically decrease over time.

If you felt Sunday morning’s earthquake, you can report it to the USGS at this link.

Suspected gunman in Hampton Beach shooting was in U.S. Navy


The suspected gunman in a shooting in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, in the hours after July 4 was an active-duty member of the U.S. Navy, officials said Monday.

The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office had previously identified the man who shot a man and woman, then himself, early Sunday morning as 21-year-old Tyshawn Cooper. Cooper died by suicide in a confrontation with police.

Cooper worked on the USS Hampton as an information systems technician (submarines), second class, according to an update from prosecutors and state and local police on Monday. He was living in New Hampshire for the military assignment — the submarine has been at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.

Cooper was not on duty at the time of the shooting, a spokesman for the Navy told NBC10 Boston Monday.

“We are deeply saddened by this event and extend our heartfelt condolences to the victims and their families. The Navy is cooperating fully with the New Hampshire State Police, who are leading the investigation into the circumstances of the shooting,” the statement said.

The USS Hampton, an attack submarine, is named for four cities with the name Hampton, including New Hampshire’s.

The man, 23, and woman, 25, remained hospitalized on Monday, officials said.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service was reviewing the incident along with state police and prosecutors, according to officials’ update.

Officials haven’t yet said what’s suspected to have led to the shooting, first reported on Ocean Boulevard about 1:19 a.m. Sunday. Officers then encountered Cooper near P Street and Ashworth Avenue, according to the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office. During that interaction, the suspect pulled out a handgun and shot himself in the head. At the same time, an officer fired their weapon.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death was a gunshot wound of head and that the manner of his death was suicide.

Though the officer’s shot was not the cause of death, the Attorney General’s Office will conduct a use of force investigation.
