Concord and Bow police investigate possible shooting on Hooksett Turnpike

CONCORD, NH – Police are evacuating parts of the northwest Bow area just across the Concord border following a possible shooting Sunday night.

Just before 8 p.m., Bow police reported a domestic incident involving gunfire at a home on Hooksett Turnpike near Cedar Lane. Police told Concord dispatch the victim, a woman, drove into town and was in the Rite Aid parking lot on South Street. The woman said she was shot at but not hit.

Bow police asked that she be held there until they could come into town and make sure she was OK. Several officers from Concord went to the store to check on the woman and question her.

Concord police reported that the victim stated the man had several pistols and rifles in the house. Based on radio transmissions, she was unsure if she was shot or if he simply fired the weapon.

Bow police had state police and Dunbarton police officers on scene. Officers from Concord also later arrived to assist. The county dispatch center later said sheriff's deputies and Henniker police would also be on scene. Everyone except the man was reportedly evacuated from the home.

Several officers reported being stationed near the house around 9 p.m. At around 9:30 p.m., residents of nearby Pepin Drive were also evacuated from their homes.

Shortly before 11:30 p.m., Concord police returned to town.
