The person armed with a knife who was shot and killed by a police officer was a teenager, the New Hampshire attorney general's office said Tuesday.
Officers arrived at a Gilford home late Sunday after authorities received a 911 call about a person armed with a knife there.
The attorney general’s office said that the officers encountered 17-year-old Mischa Fay inside the home with the knife and that one officer discharged a stun gun and another officer fired his weapon. Fay died of a single gunshot wound to the chest, an autopsy determined.
