RAYMOND, NH — The Raymond Police Department, alongside the New Hampshire State Police, is currently on the search for an armed suspect on Saturday afternoon.

Once on the scene, officers located the individual, prompting him to shoot at the officers. One officer was struck and transported to a hospital. There is no word on their condition.

The gunman fled the scene, prompting authorities to set up a perimeter around the area.
