One dead and several injured.
A wedding celebration at a private club in New Hampshire turned into a scene of chaos overnight when a gunman opened fire, leaving one person dead and multiple others injured.
Authorities say the attacker has been detained.
Tragedy at Sky Meadow Country Club
The incident occurred at the Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua, about 45 minutes from Boston, Massachusetts.
The club, a venue for weddings and other events, was hosting a wedding on Saturday evening when the shooting began.
Witnesses Describe Chaos
Guests recalled moments of terror on the dance floor.
One witness said: “We had just gathered on the dance floor… Suddenly, I heard gunshots, five shots. Chaos, screaming, then everyone started running. It was the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life.”
The same witness added that she hid under a table, fearing for her life: “You think about whether they’re going to come and look under the tablecloths… It’s very scary to go through something like that.”
Injuries and Police Response
Some victims were injured by gunfire, while others were hurt in the chaos that followed, according to New Hampshire Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley, as cited by Digi24.
Surveillance footage shows a single attacker, though authorities initially believed there were two suspects.
New Hampshire State Police are assisting in the ongoing investigation, and residents have been asked to avoid the Sky Meadow area.
Political Leaders React
Senator Jeanne Shaheen said, “Billy and I are praying for those injured. There is no place in our state for this kind of senseless violence.”
Representative Maggie Goodlander added, “My heart goes out to the victims, their families and the entire Nashua community as we await more information.”
Senator Maggie Hassan expressed gratitude to first responders, stating that her heart “goes out to the families of those affected” and thanked police and rescue workers for their efforts.
Ongoing Investigation
Authorities have not yet released the exact number of injured or their conditions. The motive behind the attack has not been specified, and officials continue to investigate.
