Police Respond To Reported Shooting, One Person Transported

MANCHESTER, NH — Manchester police, fire, and AMR responded to a reported shooting near the intersection of Amherst and Lincoln streets on Sunday.

Fire and EMS were requested to stay away while police secured the scene. Firefighters and medics were cleared to come to the scene at about 7:45 p.m.

One person was transported from the scene with what appeared to be a gunshot wound — with firefighters assisting AMR in the ambulance on the way to the Elliot Hospital.

A gray vehicle was parked in the middle of the road on Amherst Street just east of Lincoln. Crime scene tape isolated a large area surrounding the vehicle and evidence markers were on the ground next to the car. What appeared to be a shell casing could be seen on the ground next to one of the evidence markers on the ground near the passenger side of the car.

Witnesses at the scene said a man was bleeding and treated before he was transported to the hospital. Several witnesses also reported seeing a person running from the area toward Hanover Street.

Manchester police and a K-9 were seen searching behind apartments where they believe the person ran. They located what appeared to be a black sweatshirt with a logo and police stayed with the item while awaiting detectives to process the scene.

No information on the victim is available and Manchester police have not issued any information on the shooting.

When information becomes available, we will update the information.
