CONWAY, N.H. -- Police were looking for a suspect after a shooting Monday morning at an Army-Navy store. A helicopter and Fish and Game Department officers joined state and local police in a search for a man described as armed with a .22-caliber handgun, blond, and 5 feet 10 inches tall, according to theunionleader.com. Police did not immediately respond to messages seeking information. Fran Duncan, who works about a mile away at the Lamplighter Mobile Home Park north of town, said state police asked her to call all of the community's residents and warn them to stay inside while they searched for a man with a gun in the woods. Duncan said the park has more than 200 homes, many of them second homes.Officials said that Route 16 was closed in Conway after the shooting.Copyright 2007 by Associated Press
Late reports indicate it is a double shooting and the suspect is still at large and believed to still be in the area.
Conway – State and Conway police are at the scene of a double shooting -- an apparent homicide -- at the Army Barracks retail store on Route 16 above Conway Village.
Assistant Attorney General Anne Rice told UnionLeader.com that two people were shot, one fatally. Two state prosecutors are en route to Conway.

The vice president of ArmyBarracks told UnionLeader.com that a part-time employee who was refused entry to the store by police this morning saw a body inside. That company executive, Marilyn Brabents, said the store sells camping equipment, camouflage clothing and weapons such as knives, stun guns and paintball guns, but no firearms.
She said the store's manager usually arrives before the store's 10 a.m. opening to check inventory and do payroll. No one at ArmyBarracks has heard from him today, although his car is in the parking lot.
People in homes in the area were told to evacuate around 10 a.m. People are milling around a neary strip mall complex, which includes a ShurFine grocery store and six other shops, waiting to get back into their homes.
Fran Duncan, who works about a mile away at the Lamplighter Mobile Home Park north of the village, said state police asked her to call all of the community's residents and warn them to stay inside as they searched for a man with a gun in the woods. Duncan said the park has more than 200 homes. Many are second homes, about 50 or 75 are now occupied.
