Police Chief Anthony Colarusso on Saturday afternoon labeled the incident a domestic situation between a father and son, but didn't comment on what specifically sparked or who was involved in the incident.

"During the incident under investigation an adult male was killed," Colarusso and the AG's office said. "The name of the deceased is not being released pending family notification and autopsy results."

The man - said to be in his 50s - was shot around 9:10 a.m. and was taken to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital Saturday where detectives sought to interview him. He died hours later.

A Strafford County SWAT team was called in to secure the area.
