2 officers shot in New Hampshire; search on for shooter
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Two New Hampshire police officers were shot early Friday and a manhunt is underway for an armed suspect, police in Manchester said.
Police Chief Nick Willard said the two officers were shot at separate locations after 2 a.m., and they are recovering at hospitals and expected to be OK. Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas said the officers, who were not identified, "seem to be fine."
There was no immediate word on the extent of the officers' injuries, and no details about the shootings have been released. Several streets were blocked off and police seen were walking around, but they did not appear to be going door-to-door.

Willard said police are searching for the suspected shooter, described as a white man with long hair who is wearing a trench coat. A Massachusetts state police helicopter is assisting in the search.

I guess that this gun owner could have drowned the two officers in a swimming pool, or stabbed them to death, or used a bow and arrow, but he didn't. He used a weapon designed for exactly what he wanted to accomplish as was his "right."
