Tragic Shooting at New Hampshire Hospital Claims Lives of Heroic Security Guard and Former Police Chief

A security guard at the New Hampshire Hospital in Concord was shot and killed by a transient gunman identified as John Madore, who was subsequently shot and killed by a state trooper. The security guard, Bradley Haas, was a former police chief and Army veteran, and is being remembered as a hero for his actions in protecting patients, staff, and visitors. The trooper's actions were praised for potentially saving lives. The investigation into the shooting and the suspect's motives is ongoing. A suspicious vehicle on the hospital's campus was investigated but deemed not to be a threat, although it contained an AR-style rifle, a tactical vest, and ammunition.
