CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A tragic shooting occurred at the Sky Meadow Country Club during a wedding celebration, leaving one dead and two injured. Hunter Nadeau, 23, a former club employee, was arrested after patrons intervened bravely during the chaos.
Robert DeCesare Jr., 59, was killed in the incident. His widow, Charlene, described how her husband was shot while trying to protect her and their daughter. In our hearts, he’s a hero, she said.
Authorities praised the quick responses of patrons, many of whom risked their own safety to prevent a worse outcome. DJ Michael Homewood noted that a clubgoer used a chair to strike Nadeau, likely saving lives in the process.
The incident sparked fear and confusion, with witnesses recounting their shock as gunfire erupted. New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella emphasized that despite rumors, there appears to be no connection between Nadeau and the DeCesare family.
As the investigation continues, discussions surrounding safety protocols at public events and support for victims' families gain prominence. This incident is a painful reminder of the importance of community vigilance and bravery.
