FARMINGTON, N.H. — The suspect in a shooting that occurred in Farmington, New Hampshire early Monday morning has turned himself in, according to Farmington Police.
Police say Nathan Foster, 20, of Farmington, has been charged with attempted murder for turning himself in at about 9:30 a.m. Monday in connection with a shooting at 154 Ridge Rd. that occurred just before midnight.
Police were called to the residence about 12:22 a.m. for a reported shooting. According to Chief of Police, John Drury, a male later identified as Foster shot another male in the upper chest and shoulder area during an argument.
The victim has not been identified, but was transported to an area hospital and is believed to be in stable condition.
Farmington Police also said Foster may have fled the scene in a red 2005 Dodge pickup truck, which was reported stolen from a nearby residence around the same time as the shooting. Police are still looking for the missing pickup truck, New Hampshire license plate 327 0030, and the weapon – a small caliber handgun – used in the shooting.
Earlier on Monday, Farmington Police informed all Maine police agencies about the shooting, alerting them to be on the lookout for the pickup truck out of fear Foster had fled the state. Sgt. Brian Driscoll of Farmington Police said they “owe it to Maine” and Massachusetts to alert police because “we have someone possibly with a gun” who may cross the border.
Foster is due to be arraigned Tuesday at Dover District Court.
