That's when police said the man fired two shots from the window before surrendering.
"Once the shots were fired, obviously in this area we rely on mutual aid quite a bit, multiple jurisdictions responded just out of concern to ensure that citizens were safe and the scene was safely secured," said Weare police Chief Christopher Moore. The man was taken to Catholic Medical Center for a psychological evaluation. He was charged with two counts of reckless conduct with a firearm.’’’
