MANCHESTER, N.H. — A New Hampshire man holed up in his apartment with a child during a days-long standoff has been shot and killed by police, officials said Saturday.
A state police officer shot and killed 50-year-old James Breton early Saturday during a standoff in Manchester, New Hampshire Attorney General Michael Delaney said in a statement. Neither a 7-year-old girl inside the apartment, identified as Breton’s daughter, nor responding officers were hurt, Delaney said.
The standoff began Thursday night when police went to the building to check on the child’s welfare. They said they were met by a man who waved a handgun, made threatening statements and barricaded himself in the apartment.
