State attorney general said that John Madore, 33, killed security officer Bradley Haas in the entrance to the psychiatric hospital
Authorities say the gunman who was killed after shooting to death a security guard at a New Hampshire psychiatric hospital has been identified.
New Hampshire’s attorney general, John Formella, said on Saturday that 33-year-old John Madore entered the New Hampshire hospital on Friday afternoon and killed Bradley Haas, a state department of safety security officer who was working at the front lobby entrance of the facility.
All patients at the psychiatric hospital were safe, and the state trooper who killed Madore was not wounded.
Formella said Madore was most recently living in a hotel in the Seacoast region and also had lived in Concord. Investigators are still looking into whether Madore had ties to the hospital or Haas.
The shooting happened around 3.30pm at the New Hampshire hospital and was contained to the front lobby of the 185-bed facility, state police Col Mark Hall said at a news conference. He said CPR was performed on the victim, who later died at Concord hospital.
All patients at the psychiatric hospital were safe, and the state trooper who killed the shooter was not wounded, according to authorities.
