NH AG: Man shot by police in Milan had knife

CONCORD, N.H. —

A man shot and injured by police Thursday night in Milan allegedly approached officers with a knife, investigators said.

The Attorney General’s Office said Zachary Gagne, 37, approached officers from the Berlin Police Department outside a home on West Milan Road after police were called to remove him from the home.

Officials said one of the responding officers fired a gun during that interaction, and Gagne was injured. Gagne is hospitalized with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.

No officers were injured during the incident, officials said.

The identity of the officer who fired will be released after a formal interview is conducted, likely next week, officials said.
