Multiple People Wounded in Shooting at Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua; Police Search for Two Suspects
NASHUA, N.H. — A peaceful Saturday evening at one of Nashua’s most well-known venues turned into chaos and fear as multiple people were wounded in a shooting at the Sky Meadow Country Club, prompting a major police investigation and a citywide alert.
The shooting occurred Saturday night, and according to the Nashua Police Department, two suspects fled the scene immediately after the gunfire erupted. Authorities have launched a full-scale manhunt and are urging residents to remain alert as they work to track down the individuals responsible for what is now being described as a targeted act of violence.
Emergency responders, including Nashua police officers, paramedics, and fire units, rushed to the upscale country club after receiving multiple 911 calls reporting gunshots and injured individuals around [insert time if known]. The shooting reportedly took place outside or near one of the club’s event facilities, where guests were gathered for a private function.
Several victims — the exact number not yet confirmed by officials — were treated on the scene and transported to area hospitals, some with serious injuries. As of Sunday morning, their identities and conditions have not been publicly disclosed.
Law Enforcement Response and Investigation
The Nashua Police Department, along with New Hampshire State Police and federal law enforcement partners, immediately secured the area, evacuating remaining guests and initiating an extensive crime scene investigation. K-9 units, drones, and tactical response teams were deployed to search the area for the suspects, who were seen fleeing the property on foot or potentially in a vehicle.
“We can confirm that multiple individuals were shot during the incident, and that two suspects fled the scene,” said a Nashua Police spokesperson during a late-night press conference. “This is an active and ongoing investigation. At this time, we are doing everything in our power to identify and apprehend those responsible.”
Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage from the country club, interviewing witnesses, and collecting forensic evidence from the scene. Police have not released descriptions of the suspects or a possible motive, though preliminary reports suggest the violence may have stemmed from an earlier altercation.
Community Reaction
The Sky Meadow Country Club is a gated, high-end property located near the Massachusetts border and is known for hosting weddings, charity events, and community functions. The shooting has left residents of the typically quiet Nashua community stunned and shaken.
“It’s terrifying. We never expected something like this to happen in a place like this,” said one resident who lives near the club. “Our neighborhood feels very safe — until now.”
City officials and law enforcement have asked anyone with information or video evidence from the area to come forward. An anonymous tip line has been established, and investigators are particularly interested in speaking with individuals who may have attended events at the club on Saturday evening.
Victim Support and Public Safety
Crisis counselors and victim advocates have been mobilized to support those affected by the shooting, including witnesses, injured individuals, and family members of the victims. Hospital officials have confirmed they are coordinating with law enforcement regarding the medical status and safety of the patients involved.
In the meantime, Nashua Police have increased patrols throughout the area and urged residents to remain cautious, but not panic.
“We believe this incident was isolated and not a random act of violence,” said police. “However, until both suspects are in custody, the threat to public safety cannot be ruled out.”
What’s Next
The investigation is expected to continue throughout the weekend, with more information likely to be released as police narrow down leads. Authorities have not indicated whether they believe the suspects remain in the immediate area or have fled further from the city.
As Nashua begins to recover from the shock of the shooting, the community is coming together in support of the victims and their families. Plans for a vigil or public response may be announced in the coming days.
