Franklin, New Hampshire – A horrifying triple shooting on Saturday has left a community in shock as a man allegedly shot his 1-and-a-half-year-old daughter and her mother, while also injuring the woman’s 5-year-old daughter.
The incident, which took place at a residence on Elkins Street, initiated a frantic manhunt that concluded with the discovery of the suspect’s body near the Merrimack River.
Law enforcement officers swiftly responded to the reported shooting around 12 p.m., where they discovered the lifeless bodies of Nicole Hughes and her young daughter, Ariella Belle, both suffering from fatal gunshot wounds, according to the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office.
The 5-year-old girl was also found with a gunshot wound and was immediately transported to the hospital for medical care.
The tragic event led to an intensive search for the alleged perpetrator, identified as 42-year-old Jamie Bell.
Authorities issued a warning, cautioning the public that Bell should be considered armed and dangerous. The community was urged to remain vigilant while law enforcement agencies coordinated efforts to locate and apprehend the suspect.
The search for Jamie Bell lasted for several hours, with law enforcement agencies combing through various locations. Sadly, around 5:30 p.m., Bell’s lifeless body was discovered on the banks of the Merrimack River.
Investigators confirmed that he had inflicted a self-inflicted wound to his neck. The exact circumstances leading to his death are currently under investigation.
While it has been confirmed that Jamie Bell had an intimate relationship with Nicole Hughes, authorities have declined to provide further details regarding the nature of their relationship.
The motive behind the triple shooting remains unclear, leaving the community devastated and seeking answers.
In light of these tragic events, an autopsy is scheduled for Sunday morning to gather further evidence and provide additional insights into the incident.
Local authorities, along with state and federal agencies, are working together to thoroughly investigate the case and bring forth justice for the victims and their families.
