A man being pursued in the killing of his wife in New Hampshire was shot by police and tumbled from the Interstate 95 bridge that connects the state to Maine, officials said Thursday.The boy's death was not caused by gunfire from three law enforcement officials who discharged their firearms after the man stepped out of his vehicle and raised a weapon after failed attempts to negotiate with him, Col. William Ross, chief of Maine State Police, told reporters.
The Piscataqua River Bridge was closed for seven hours before reopening during the Thursday morning commute, Maine State Police said.The episode began with the man calling police shortly after 2am Thursday local time to report a domestic altercation with his wife in Troy, New Hampshire, where police found his wife's body about 100 miles away at a home in the western part of the state, officials said.
A state police spokesperson declined to provide details but said that assessment was based on observations made by law enforcement officials at the scene.The family had recently moved to Troy, and police were having difficulty tracking down family members to make notifications, the spokesperson said.
Between 70,000 and 80,000 vehicles use the Piscataqua bridge each day, according to the Maine Department of Transportation.
