Piscataqua River Bridge, which connects Maine to NH, re-opens after officer-involved shooting

The Piscataqua River Bridge, which connects Maine to New Hampshire, reopened on Thursday morning amid an investigation into the death of a child, a fatal officer-involved shooting, and the killing of a woman 100 miles away.

• Troopers shoot, kill man wanted in wife’s death on NH-Maine bridge before finding his dead son
• Large crime scene at home where woman was killed before man fatally shot by police, child found dead

The bridge and I-95 in both directions were shut down for the majority of the morning.

Maine State Police said northbound traffic from New Hampshire into Maine was completely blocked, and southbound traffic was being diverted at Exit 3 in Kittery.

A man suspected of killing his wife at a home in Troy, New Hampshire, overnight was fatally shot by police after he drove nearly 100 miles to the Piscataqua River Bridge , where a child’s body was also found in his vehicle, law enforcement officials said.

“Troopers are on scene. Drivers should anticipate delays and avoid the area if possible,” New Hampshire State Police wrote in a post on X.
