State and local authorities are searching for an armed suspect who allegedly opened fire at family members and responding law enforcement in New Hampshire on Saturday, wounding at least one police officer and triggering a massive manhunt.
The suspect, described as a middle-aged White man, allegedly shot at his family members just after 1:30 p.m. local time, and was later tracked down by officers.
He then opened fire on the responding officers, striking one of them, according to New Hampshire State Police.
The wounded officer, who has not yet been publicly identified, was taken to a local hospital by ambulance.
The gunman allegedly ran from the scene and additional law enforcement personnel responded to set up a perimeter around the area in an effort to contain the suspect.
He is 5 feet, 11 inches tall and weighs just over 200 pounds, according to state police. He has black hair and hazel eyes, and is believed to be traveling on foot.
