Concord, NH – Authorities are investigating a tragic incident that began in Troy, New Hampshire, and ended with a fatal shooting on the Piscataqua River Bridge in Kittery, Maine.
Attorney General John M. Formella announced that a New Hampshire man allegedly killed a woman at a Troy residence overnight. He then drove to the Piscataqua River Bridge on Interstate 95.
