DEERFIELD, N.H. — New Hampshire State Police took a suspect into custody Tuesday night after asking residents in Deerfield to shelter in place.

The name of the suspect is not being released at this time and it’s unclear if they will face any charges. Troopers don’t believe there’s any active threat to the public.

Earlier in the evening, all residents within a 2-mile radius of 23 Old Candia Road in Deerfield were asked to stay inside with their doors and windows closed and locked while troopers looked for a suspect they say may be armed.

Troopers, K9s, and other law enforcement personnel canvassed the area.

Police say updates will be provided as they become available.
