A Celebration Turns to Chaos
What was supposed to be a night of love and joy at a New Hampshire wedding ended in terror when a gunman opened fire inside the Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua late Saturday night.
Authorities confirmed that one man was killed and two others were shot, while several more guests were injured as they scrambled to escape the gunfire.
The Deadly Shooting
The violence broke out just after 9:30 PM as guests celebrated inside the upscale country club.
Witnesses say the joyous atmosphere instantly shifted to chaos when gunfire erupted, sending wedding-goers running for their lives. Some guests were trampled or injured in the desperate rush to escape.
Police initially feared multiple shooters, but after reviewing surveillance footage, investigators confirmed there was only one gunman.
Victims and Arrest
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office identified the victim as a 59-year-old man whose name has not yet been released to the public.
Two other people sustained gunshot wounds and are being treated for their injuries.
Early Sunday morning, Attorney General John M. Formella announced that 23-year-old Hunter Nadeau had been arrested and charged with second-degree murder in connection with the deadly outburst.
Authorities emphasized that Nadeau acted alone and that the public is not at risk.
Motive Still a Mystery
At this time, investigators have not revealed a motive for the shooting. It remains unclear whether Nadeau had any connection to the wedding party or the victims.
Police are continuing to piece together what led to the horrifying attack.
