KEENE, N.H. (MyKeeneNow) – The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office has released the name of the man who was shot by police in Keene Tuesday afternoon.
The Keene Police Department responded to a 911 call near the intersection of Baker and Colby Streets for a person in distress.
The AG’s office did not provide many details on the encounter, but said that officers arrived on scene and found Cullen Costa, 25, at that location.
During the subsequent encounter an officer fired his weapon, striking Costa.
Costa was taken to the hospital where he remains in critical but stable condition. No officers were injured in the incident.
As protocol dictates the New Hampshire Department of Justice is investigating the officer-involved shooting, and the name of the officer will not be released until a formal interview is conducted, expected to occur within the next few days.
