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.

A new study showing deaths from rectal cancer are rising sharply among younger adults in their 30s and 40s — a troubling trend that researchers in a recent study say is not fully understood — is an important reminder for New Hampshire to include screening in their regular checkups.
The study, published March 2 in the American Cancer Society journal, found colorectal cancers — once more common in older adults — are increasingly diagnosed in younger people and are often more advanced at detection.
Colorectal cancer includes both colon and rectal cancer. In New Hampshire, 31.9 in 100,000 people were diagnosed from 2018 to 2022, according to the researchers’ analysis of federal health data. Death rates from 2019 to 2023 were 10.9 in 100,000 people.
Researchers said rectal cancer deaths could surpass colon cancer deaths by 2035 if current trends continue. Colorectal cancer is already the leading cause of cancer death among Americans under 50, with mortality in that group rising about 1% per year even as death rates decline among older adults, particularly those 65 and older.
Rectal tumors now account for about one-third of all colorectal cancer diagnoses, up from roughly one-quarter in earlier decades, indicating a growing share of the overall burden. Overall incidence has declined slightly, driven by a roughly 2.5% annual drop among adults 65 and older, but it is rising in younger groups—about 3% per year among those ages 20 to 49 and 0.4% annually among those 50 to 64. As a result, nearly half of new cases now occur in people under 65, up from about a quarter in the mid-1990s.

Researchers estimate 158,850 new colorectal cancer cases and 55,230 deaths nationwide in 2026, with about 45% of diagnoses and nearly one-third of deaths expected in people younger than 65.
The reasons for the rise in younger adults remain unclear. Researchers point to possible links to diet, obesity, environmental exposures and other lifestyle factors, as well as changes in the gut microbiome.

As these generations age, the burden of rectal cancer “will continue to swell like a tsunami moving through time, underscoring an urgent need for etiologic research to discover the cause of rising incidence,” the researchers said.
