A tragic shooting occurred at a psychiatric hospital in Concord, New Hampshire, on Friday with multiple victims. The number of those killed or wounded has not yet been released.

The incident ended with the death of the suspected shooter.

A shooting at a New Hampshire psychiatric hospital Friday ended with the suspect dead, police said.

New Hampshire Homeland Security and Emergency Management posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that at 4:45 p.m. the suspect was dead.

State police said there were “multiple victims” in an alert released via social media late Friday afternoon. Further details weren’t immediately available. New Hampshire Hospital is the state psychiatric hospital, located in the state’s capital city.

In the aftermath of the shooting, police reported that the situation at the hospital was “contained” and confirmed that the shooter was deceased. NH Gov. Chris Sununu echoed those details in a statement Friday evening. He said:

While the scene remains active as the campus is cleared, the suspect is deceased. The state immediately mobilized, and first responders and law enforcement are on the scene. We will provide as many details as possible as this situation unfolds.

Other details surrounding the events leading to the shooting and the suspect’s death were not specified in initial reports.

State Police Col. Mark Hall said the shooting was contained to the front lobby, and there was no threat to the general public. He said the hospital campus was still an active investigation scene, as a suspicious vehicle had been located.

Hospital employees reported hearing the shots and locking themselves in closets according to a local news outlet. The hospital appears to have been secured with metal detectors and a police officer on duty.

The reports do not detail how the situation was contained. The shooting is the latest in a series of violent attacks at health care facilities.

Such attacks have helped make health care one of the nation’s most violent fields. Data shows American health care workers now suffer more nonfatal injuries from workplace violence than workers in any other profession, including law enforcement.

“Health care workers don’t even think about that when they decide they want to be a nurse or a doctor. But as far as actual violence goes, statistically, health care is four or five times more dangerous than any other profession,” said Michael D’Angelo, a former police officer who focuses on health care and workplace violence as a security consultant in Florida.

 This is a developing story, and further information regarding the identities of the shooter and victims is expected to emerge. RedState will bring you updates as they become available.
