Nashua Police: Accidental Gun Discharge Injured 2 Men: Video

NASHUA, NH — Nashua Police, Fire, and two AMR Ambulances responded to Chestnut Street near Central for a report of two people with gunshot wounds on Friday.

Nashua police arrived and began to treat two victims at about 9:45 p.m. who were on the sidewalk near a pickup truck. When Nashua Fire Rescue and AMR arrived, they took over the medical treatment while officers cordoned off the street with crime scene tape.
