Authorities determined that Mutrie and his ex-girlfriend, Brittany Tibbetts, were running an extensive drug trafficking operation from the home. When Maloney and four other police officers with the New Hampshire Attorney Generals Drug Task Force attempted to execute a warrant on the front porch, Mutrie opened fire and killed Maloney and wounded four police officers.

On Friday at 10 a.m., Gov. John Lynch will help the Greenland Police Department dedicate a patrol room at the station in honor of Maloney.
