CLAREMONT The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office on Monday released the names of the six state police troopers who fatally shot a Windsor native in Claremont last month.
Jeffrey Ely, 40, was shot by members of a state police SWAT team after police responded on March 31 to a report of shots fired at 247 Sullivan St., a group of industrial and warehouse buildings near the Sugar River just west of downtown Claremont.
Officers found Ely was barricaded inside one of the buildings, prompting Claremont police to close down that stretch of Sullivan Street and call for assistance from the state police SWAT team. Once they arrived, “gunfire was exchanged” between Ely and troopers, police said.
