Separate fatal shootings in New Hampshire investigated – Valley News
Two people have died following separate law enforcement-involved shootings in New Hampshire over the past three days, marking the first such fatalities in the state this year.
The most recent incident occurred in the early hours of Monday morning, when officers responding to a domestic disturbance call at a private residence in Northfield, N.H., shot and killed an adult woman.
According to the New Hampshire attorney general’s office, the woman died at the scene. The victim’s name will be released after the next of kin have been notified.
No additional details have been released, as the investigation remains active.
Another shooting took place on Saturday night, which was the culmination of an hours-long manhunt in Raymond, N.H.
Law enforcement responded to a call shortly after 1:30 p.m. that reported Matthew Masse, 38, was shooting a rifle at his family members at a home on Ham Road, according to a news release from the attorney general’s office.
During the initial response, Masse shot and wounded a Nottingham, N.H., police officer, who is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Masse then fled into the surrounding woods.
After an hours-long search and shelter-in-place advisory, officers made contact with Masse around 10:06 p.m. and attempted to arrest him, which resulted in a shootout.
Law enforcement then approached Masse and found him dead, authorities said.
Warrants had been issued for Masse’s arrest following an incident two days earlier, according to reporting by NHPR. But, police hadn’t located him until they responded to the call on Saturday.
Family members told WMUR that Masse struggled with his mental health.
In both incidents, autopsies are yet to be conducted.
The attorney general’s office has opened an investigation into both incidents, as it does for all shootings that involve police officers. The officers involved have not been publicly identified.
Last year, the state recorded nine officer-involved shootings, only one of which involved a female victim, making Monday’s incident in Northfield a particularly rare occurrence.

Portland Sea Dogs host New Hampshire in home opener Tuesday at Delta Dental Park at 4 p.m.
After a long wait, the Portland Sea Dogs are set to open their home schedule Tuesday afternoon at Delta Dental Park, welcoming New Hampshire for the home opener.
The team’s newly installed field at Hadlock is already in great shape, with the Sea Dogs grounds crew putting the final touches on it Monday.
First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m. Tuesday, and kids will be admitted free. Fans may want to bundle up, though, as conditions are expected to be chilly, with temperatures in the low 40s after the team recently played in the mid-80s.

Benefit held Maine man badly injured after getting hit on I-95 while shielding teen
MEDFORD, Maine (WGME) — A community is rallying and raising money for a Medford man who is fighting for his life after being hit by a vehicle on I-95 while helping a teen driver.
Scott Thibodeau’s family said he is on a breathing tube and badly injured after he was hit by a car on I-95 last month.
Police said he and his wife stopped to help another driver who went off the road in Veazie.
Thibodeau and the teen driver were outside their vehicles when police said another driver hit them.
Police said Thibodeau put himself in front of the teen to shield her and suffered worse injuries.

Thibodeau is active in the automotive community in his area and on Sunday, they held a fundraiser to help pay his medical bills.
“Scott being such a big part of the automotive community and the mud runs and everything, it was something kind of like we needed to do,” said organizer Nick Souza.
“The amount of appreciation is never something I’ll be able to repay, so thank you is the best I’ve got,” said Janis Thibodeau, Scott’s wife.
Thibodeau just celebrated his 55th birthday from the ICE. His wife says his road to recovery will be long and uncertain.
A Facebook page has been created to document Thibodeau’s healing journey. A GoFundMe has been set up to help Thibodeau’s family.
