Former Patient Fatally Shoots Security Officer at New Hampshire Hospital

John Madore, previously treated at the facility in 2016, killed in return fire by state trooper.

John Madore, 33, entered New Hampshire Hospital on Friday afternoon and fatally shot Bradley Haas, a state Department of Safety security officer who was working at the front lobby entrance of the facility, before being killed by a state trooper.
Madore was a former patient at the hospital in 2016, during which time he faced assault charges that were later dismissed.
Madore was wielding a 9mm pistol and had additional ammunition on him when he shot Haas, who was unarmed. Police also found an AR-style rifle, a tactical vest and several ammunition magazines in a U-Haul truck in the hospital’s parking lot.
The shooting happened around 3:30 p.m. and was contained to the front lobby of the 185-bed facility. On the day of the shooting, there were 152 patient beds occupied at the hospital.
Bradley Haas, the victim, lived in Franklin, a small city about 20 miles from Concord. He worked as a police officer for 28 years and rose to become police chief.
