New Hampshire Attorney General Joseph A. Foster and Rochester Police Chief Michael Allen, announce that an investigation is ongoing into a shooting incident that took place last night, Sunday, May 4, 2014, in Rochester, New Hampshire.

At approximately 10:06 p.m., Rochester police officers responded to Sylvain Street for a report of an altercation. When police arrived, they discovered two adult males at the scene, one of whom had been shot. The person who was shot was later identified as Richard Dumont, age 37, of Rochester. Mr. Dumont was treated at the scene and then transported to the hospital. However, he did not survive his injuries.
