Date of the incident: 3/10/2014

Rochester, Strafford, NH
Periwinkle Drive

Three probation / parole officers and a county sheriff's deputy attempted to locate Shannon's brother Wayne in his mother's trailer, although they were also aware of a warrant out for Shannon's arrest regarding intoxication. Shannon attempted to hide in a dark bedroom, resisted officers and reportedly threatened to shoot them. He was shot three times and died later that evening. He'd been unarmed, holding a cellphone.
