(NewsNation) — A 23-year-old suspect has been charged with murder after allegedly killing another man and injuring two other people Saturday at a country club in southern New Hampshire.
Published reports say alleged shooter Hunter Nadeau was formerly an employee at Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua, but authorities as of Sunday had not offered details about potential connections with the 59-year-old victim who died, Robert Steven DeCesare, or the two others who were shot. Nadeau allegedly began opening fire at the venue as a wedding reception was taking place and reportedly was stopped when a bystander struck him with a chair.
Witness Tom Bartelson of Pepperell, Massachusetts, told The Associated Press the shooter made comments about “the children are safe” and “free Palestine” before about six shots rang out.
“Everybody ducked for cover, and next thing you know we’re rushed into safe spots and things like that,” Bartelson said.
New Hampshire Attorney General John M. Formella said any remarks Nadeau made were probably meant as a distraction. Authorities say they quickly apprehended the suspect after he fled the scene.
„At this point, we don’t have any evidence to indicate this was a hate-based act,“ Formella said, according to WMUR-TV in Manchester, N.H.
The station, citing investigators, said the two other people who were shot included a restaurant worker and a patron. At least four other people suffered non-gunshot injuries as they tried to flee the chaotic scene.
Nadeau has been charged with one count second-degree murder. He is expected to appear in court on Monday and likely will face additional charges.
„I’m closely monitoring the tragic reports of a shooting tonight at Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua. My heart is with the victims, their families, and the entire Nashua community as we await more information,“ U.S. Rep. Maggie Goodlander, D-N.H., told WMUR.
