Portsmouth NH Motel, Where Suspect Allegedly Killed Himself 

"We made a call into the subject’s room and made contact with him briefly,” said Portsmouth police chief Stephen DuBois. “That’s when police say he tried to make a run for it out a back window.
“When he tried to make it out he was met by a couple of officers who challenged him.”
Shortly thereafter, police heard a gunshot, DuBois said.
Police didn’t know if it was aimed at them, so they exploded a diversionary device to see if there was movement in the room.
Then, they deployed a robot inside for safety and confirmed it was a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
