Funeral Arrangements Announced For Greenland, NH Police Chief
GREENLAND, N.H. (CBS/AP) — Mourners have gathered for a memorial in honor of a New Hampshire police chief who was shot to death days before retiring.
Greenland police Chief Michael Maloney was trying to serve a search warrant Thursday night when a suspect opened fire, killing him and wounding four officers.
Other community leaders and residents congregated Saturday at a school. Maloney was remembered as active in the community. Selectman John Vitale says he always left a gathering with a chuckle and a handshake.
