Nashua, NH – A shooter opened fire on Saturday in a New Hampshire Country Club, in which one person was killed and injured several others, the authorities said.
The person who died in the Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua was an adult man, according to the Attorney General John Formella of New Hampshire and Nashua police chief Kevin Rourke.
Authorities said that the suspect, who was held on the spot, was also an adult man, and previous reports of two shooters were fermented. The police said there was no further danger to the public.
Researchers were still working on determining a motive, said New Hampshire senior assistant attorney general Peter Hinckley.
Information about the circumstances of the wounded victims was not immediately available.
Tom Bartelson from Pepperell, Massachusetts, who was at the Country Club, described a chaotic scene that unfolded near the wedding of his cousin. He said he heard the shooter say, “The children are safe” and “free Palestine” and seemed to focus on someone.
“Coming together for a dance for the bride and groom and then all chaos went off,” he said. “We heard about six shots and everyone dived for coverage and the next that you know, we were consulted in safe places and things like that.”
He said some people fell to the floor and tried to get away from the stage. There was a lot of panic, he said.
“We tried to keep relatives safe,” he said. “Keep everyone impressed and try to find safe places.”

Another person who was on the spot, said Evie O
“We don’t know where he is. He went down. My daughter -in -law and granddaughter escaped … They saw my son go down and they saw blood, and we can’t find him,” she said.
Emily Ernst, who was on the spot, said she saw a shooter in very black.
“He had a mask. We just saw him lift the gun and then we ran,” said Ernst. “I ran through the kitchen for my life.”
Air video from WMUR-TV showed several emergency services that were on their way to the scene. Later Mayor of Nashua Jim Donchess said he had faith in the police to “carry out this and to bring the perpetrator to court.”
He added: “I think the message is for every community, it is not how unlikely it seems that it can happen where you live.”
The American rep. Maggie Goodlander said in a statement that “the tragic reports of a shooting tonight at Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua closely monitored and that her heart was with the victims, their families and the community.
Nashua is approximately 45 miles (70 kilometers) northwest of Boston, just across the border with Massachusetts.
