MANCHESTER, N.H. (WHDH) - A 32-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the shooting of two Manchester, New Hampshire Department of Public Works employees Thursday morning, according to the Manchester Police Department.
Sean Day, of Manchester, New Hampshire, was located after the shooting at a business in the city and arrested without incident. He is charged with two counts of First Degree Assault.
Manchester police said two Department of Public Works employees were walking in the area of Manchester Street and Union Street at approximately 9:20 a.m. when they were approached by a man known to one of them. The man was later identified as Day.
