New Hampshire officials said a man was shot by police Friday evening in Charlestown.
The shooting happened near the intersection of Caryl Lane and Claremont Road, according to the office of New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella.
Authorities said the man was injured, but they did not describe the severity or say if he was hospitalized.
The Attorney General’s Office and New Hampshire State Police are investigating.
No further information was immediately available.
While most people saw the action on land during the reenactment of the Battle of Bunker Hill in Gloucester, some took part aboard ships reenacting the Royal Navy off Half Moon Beach.
The ability to recreate an amphibious assault was a major reason Stage Fort Park was an ideal spot for the battle event, according to Maritime Gloucester Executive Director Michael De Koster.

When the Battle of Bunker Hill is reenacted at Stage Fort Park later this week, the Tarr family of Gloucester will be thinking about Jabez Tarr, a 15-year-old soldier who was among the Gloucester colonists who fought in the battle.
Jabez is one of their ancestors and a descendent of first settler Richard Tarr, a founder of what was called Sandy Bay in the colonial era.

Millions of used chopsticks that otherwise would have been discarded are being transformed into furnishings by a new Boston-area business franchise. ChopValue Boston collects used chopsticks from area restaurants and transforms them into sterilized, state-of-the-art building tiles through a process that involves sorting, dipping, baking, hammering and pressing. “It’s very strong,” said Elaine Chow, the founder of ChopValue Boston. “Bamboo is a strong material in itself and when you bundle it all up like this, this has been rated stronger than oak and maple.”Chow spent decades working in the non-profit world but during the pandemic decided to make a change. She stumbled across a video about ChopValue online and realized there are plenty of used chopsticks in the Boston area to support the business. “Do people want to buy recycled materials? Do people want to buy sustainable building materials, carbon-negative stuff? The answer to that – I truly believe is yes,” she said. Once her ChopValue operation was up and running in Charlestown, Chow quickly confirmed her findings.”We signed up 100 restaurants in March and within six months we had collected almost eight tons of material,” she said. That’s roughly 2.5 million used chopsticks that are diverted from going to the dump and instead find new life in corporate holiday gifts, light features, tabletops and more. “A lot of times when people see and touch our product they say ‘Wow, I can’t believe this is made out of chopsticks. I can’t believe it’s made out of recycled materials,’” she said. ChopValue Boston is only the second franchise in the U.S.
