We thank T-Mobile for their support and for making today’s Manchester Patch newsletter possible.

Here are the top three stories today in and around Manchester:

1. Gov. Chris Sununu announced that he will not be running for president, citing reasons such as the crowded field of candidates, former President Trump's strong position, and the need for a candid voice. Despite this, he believes that as governor of the state with the first-in-the-nation primary, he can still have a national voice and speak more openly about the future of the Republican Party. Sununu emphasized the importance of focusing on the party's values and the future rather than dwelling on the past. (WMUR)
2. The New Hampshire State Police are seeking assistance in identifying the body of a woman discovered on I-89 North in nearby Hopkinton. The woman's cause of death was determined to be blunt impact head injuries, and the investigation into her death is ongoing. Described as a white female with distinct features including strawberry blonde-red hair, blue eyes, and neon green finger and toenails, she also had a tattoo of a bird feather with birds flying out of it on her lower back. (WMUR)
3. An investigation by the State Attorney General's Office has determined that four Manchester officers and two New Hampshire state troopers were justified in the fatal shooting of Adrian Husejnovic, who had pointed a gun at them on Jun. 19, 2022. The report cleared all six law enforcement officers of any wrongdoing in the incident. Prior to the shooting, the officers had spent approximately 90 minutes attempting to deescalate the situation with Husejnovic. (The Pulse of NH)
