GREENLAND, N.H. (AP) — Attorney General Michael Delaney says Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney was the officer killed during a drug bust-turned-shootout in New Hampshire that also left four other officers wounded.
Delaney confirmed early Friday that Maloney was the officer killed as authorities were conducting a drug investigation in the small seacoast town of Greenland.
The incident started around 6 p.m. Thursday and the suspect remains barricaded in a home with a woman.
Maloney was due to retire in less than two weeks. He is married and has children. In addition to Maloney, the department had just six officers.
