Suspect charged with attempted murder in shootings of 2 NH police officers


Police in New Hampshire caught the suspect accused of shooting and wounding two officers Friday in Manchester after a manhunt that stretched for hours.

Ian McPherson, 32, faced two counts of attempted capital murder, Associate Attorney General Jane Young told reporters. Officers had called the wanted suspect "extremely dangerous."

Officer Ryan Hardy, 27, had stopped McPherson early Friday after suspecting he was involved in a gas station robbery a day earlier, Police Chief Nick Willard said. The suspect allegedly fired at the officer, hitting him once in the face and once in the shoulder before escaping.
