A man is dead and several others are injured after a shooter opened fire at a New Hampshire country club on Saturday night, the state attorney general’s office said.
The suspected shooter entered the Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua, about 40 miles south of Concord, around 8 p.m. and fired several gunshots, according to officials. Surveillance video confirmed there was one suspect, who is now in custody, the Nashua Police Department said. Investigators previously said there were two suspects.
There is no further danger to the public, the police department said at 9:21 p.m. on Saturday.
Officials have not confirmed the number of people injured or their condition. Some people may have sustained non-gunshot wounds, investigators noted. American Medical Response ambulance company told CBS News they transported patients to area hospitals, but did not confirm how many.
There were more than 100 people on the property of the country club when gunfire broke out, local outlet WMUR reports.
There was a heavy police presence at the scene, and several emergency vehicles were parked on a nearby street, according to footage taken by WMUR-TV on Saturday night. Investigators refused to confirm the nature of the event, but local media reports suggest it was a wedding. Authorities also said they couldn't confirm if it was a targeted attack.
Nashua police said officers are using the nearby Sheraton Hotel as a unification site.
Fire officials in nearby Dunstable, Massachusetts, issued a shelter in place order for residents on Thorndike Street, High Street, and Hardy Street. The order was lifted just after 10:15 p.m.
The private country club has a golf course and hosts a variety of events, including weddings, according to its website.
