I live in the area. Crazy how many helicopters and drones showed up so quick and how many police there were. For several hours more and more police and FBI vehicles kept arriving. Probably ended up with close to 100 officers on scene. Salem NH PD, Methuen MA PD, Providence RI PD, NH state police, MA state police, FBI, and US Marshal service were the ones I saw.

I think it's the biggest response I've personally seen since the Boston Marathon Bombing.

sadly flock ended up being helpful here (according to the police per the article). also interesting that it was some random homeless guy who happened to be there that blew the whole thing wide open. despite all of the surveillance...

> some random homeless guy

Was he homeless? I haven't seen that mentioned in the articles.

Was it helpful? The man committed two shootings and they caught him after he committed suicide. It didn't prevent a crime.
