Man Fatally Shot at New Hampshire Country Club; Suspect in Custody
A shooting at Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua, New Hampshire, resulted in the death of 59-year-old Robert DeCesare Jr. and injuries to two others. Former employee Hunter Nadeau, 23, has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder.
A tragic shooting occurred Saturday night at the Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua, New Hampshire, during a wedding celebration. One person, Robert DeCesare Jr., 59, was killed, and two others were wounded. The suspected shooter, Hunter Nadeau, 23, a former employee of the club, was arrested shortly after the incident and charged with second-degree murder. Authorities believe the act was intended to incite chaos rather than being hate-motivated, despite Nadeau reportedly shouting "Free Palestine." Witnesses, including the wedding DJ, credited a bystander who struck the gunman with a chair, potentially saving many lives. Several guests were injured amid the chaos, with at least four suffering non-gunshot-related wounds.
Authorities are continuing their investigation and anticipate further charges. Charlene DeCesare, the victim’s widow, described her husband as a hero for attempting to protect their family, and urged the public to avoid speculation. The New Hampshire Attorney General’s office is assisting local law enforcement, and support has been extended to the victims and their families. Witnesses recounted panic and confusion during the incident, which interrupted what had been a festive wedding celebration.
