NASHUA, N.H. — Police in Nashua have lifted a shelter in place order in the Bellcrest Road area following an hourslong investigation into a shooting.
“There is heavy police presence for a report of gunshots in the area,” police said in a social media post on X, formerly known as Twitter, at 12:37 p.m. Wednesday.
Police said the incident is “contained” within a single home.
“We will update the public when the incident is under control,” police said.
Around 4:30 p.m., Nashua authorities gave the all-clear for people to return to their homes.
Police said they responded to a Bellcrest Road home for a report of a suicidal man with guns. Family reportedly arrived before officers and heard several gunshots coming from the house.
After trying to contact the party inside the home, the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Unit deployed a drone into the home and found a deceased male.
There were no additional injuries reported. His identity is not being released at this time.
The Shelter In Place in the area of Bellcrest Rd has been lifted. There is no longer a threat to the public and the incident is under control. The investigation is still ongoing and a police presence will remain in the area until the investigation is completed.
