Overview
- A report of an erratically driven vehicle prompted police to enter a Hilltop Manor home early Tuesday and find three adults injured, and officers later located a fourth injured family member at a hospital.
- Authorities say all four victims suffered gunshot wounds and a 29-year-old man, identified as Eric Blake Jr., was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
- An autopsy determined the deceased died from a single gunshot wound to the head and ruled his death a suicide, leading investigators to classify the case as attempted murders and a suicide.
- Two surviving family members remain in critical condition while a fourth is stable, and officials have not released a motive or a detailed timeline of the events.
- The New Hampshire State Police major crime unit and the Attorney General’s Office are leading an active probe, and investigators say they have identified everyone involved and see no known public safety threat.
