Keene Police Shoot and Kill Burglar
According to the Keene Sentinel:
A man was shot by police and killed after a pursuit in Keene late Tuesday night, authorities said.
The incident began at Diversified Computers at 255 West St. in Keene, where police were called for a burglary complaint, according to a news release from the N.H. Attorney General’s Office.
When officers got there, they saw at least one suspect on the roof of the building. Two people fleeing the area were arrested after a short pursuit, authorities said.
The third person left the scene in a car and was pursued by officers to Marlboro Street, where he parked near the corner of Marlboro and Prescott streets and left the vehicle, authorities said. After an officer briefly pursued the man on foot, he got back in his car and attempted to escape, and two officers fired at the vehicle, killing the man, authorities said.
The car crashed head-on into a telephone pole and one neighbor on Marlboro Street said he heard five gunshots.
Too bad the Bear Cat wasn’t here to protect Keene from this situation.
