The names of two Gilford police officers involved in the New Year’s Day shooting death of a teenager were released by the New Hampshire attorney general’s office on Saturday.
Officer Nathan Ayotte and Sgt. Douglas Wall arrived at a Gilford home Sunday after authorities received a 911 call about a person armed with a knife there.
The attorney general’s office said the two officers encountered 17-year-old Mischa Fay inside the home with the knife. Ayotte discharged a stun gun and Wall fired his gun. Fay died of a single gunshot wound to the chest, an autopsy determined.
