Man shot dead by police after barricading himself in historic Plymouth bed and breakfast, NH AG says.

A man was shot and killed by police in New Hampshire after barricading himself inside a historic bed and breakfast in Plymouth, Attorney General John M. Formella’s office said in a statement Thursday.

The incident took place at the Federal House Inn on Route 25 in the county town of Grafton beginning Wednesday afternoon, Formella’s office said in a statement.

Police responded to reports of a disturbance at the inn on Wednesday and discovered the man was heavily armed and had barricaded himself there, prosecutors said.

“Police responded to the area following a disturbance call at the Inn on Wednesday afternoon, where they arrived to find the man armed and barricaded inside,” prosecutors said. “Contact with the barricaded man was ongoing at the time of the incident.”

The name of the man shot by police was not released pending notification of next of kin. The state medical examiner’s office will conduct an autopsy.

No civilians or police officers suffered physical injuries, prosecutors said. There is no known threat to the public, prosecutors said.

No further information is currently available, including what time the shooting ended.

The identities of the police officers who fired their weapons will be withheld until they are formally interviewed by investigators, Formella’s office said.

Located between the Lake District and the White Mountains, the Federal House Inn was originally built as a farmhouse in 1835. Each room at the inn features “fine linens, white goose down duvets, towels and bathrobes.” “luxurious pillows, a Bose clock radio, chocolates on your pillow (!), and a basket of eco-friendly toiletries,” according to your website.

The investigation is active and ongoing, authorities said.
