Franconia policeman shot on job
Another man also killed, officials say
A Franconia police officer and another man were shot and killed last night. New Hampshire Attorney General Kelly Ayotte said the officer was killed in the line of duty, but she did not release either of the victims' names.
A section of Route 116 in Franconia near the Easton town line was shut down while the police investigated.
A police source said the Franconia officer was shot after he pulled over a young driver for a routine traffic stop. The driver exited the vehicle and shot the police officer, according to the source, who is not involved in the investigation. The driver then tried to run over the officer and was shot and killed by another motorist who came upon the scene.
The attorney general's office would not release further information or confirm the narrative. Ayotte would not say if the police were searching for or had apprehended any suspects.
The Union Leader reported on its website last night that the second person killed was Liko Kenney, a cousin of Olympic alpine skier Bode Miller. Kenney's uncle, Bill Kenney, told the newspaper that his nephew had been killed.
