On November 17, 2023, a security officer at New Hampshire Hospital in Concord was killed when a gunman opened fire in the hospital’s front lobby. Bradley Haas, a 63-year-old White male and former Franklin police chief with 28 years of service, was at his post when he was struck by multiple gunshots. He was taken to Concord Hospital but died of his injuries; reports say his actions helped contain the violence to the lobby and spared others from harm.

The shooter was identified as 33-year-old John Madore, described as homeless and as a former patient of the facility. A New Hampshire State Trooper assigned to the hospital returned fire and fatally shot Madore at the scene. Investigators later linked a U-Haul in the hospital parking lot to Madore that contained an AR-style rifle, a tactical vest, and ammunition. Motive has not been reported.
