CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Two police officers fired their guns in a confrontation with a man who died from a gunshot wound to the neck, the New Hampshire attorney general’s office said Monday.
Carl Manning, 62, died in the officer-involved shooting in Manchester on Sunday, April 5, the office said. His manner of death is a homicide.
The names of the officers who fired their guns are Sgt. Matthew Barter, who has been an officer for 14 years, and Officer Erik Slocum, who has seven years of experience, the attorney general’s office said.
The shooting is still under investigation.
Manning was a suspect in a suspicious fire at a house earlier that day. Police approaching his truck saw him inside the vehicle and he appeared to be armed, the attorney general’s office said. He died a short time later.
