A 17-year-old from Massachusetts was shot and killed early Wednesday morning in New Hampshire, authorities announced.

Christian Walker of Orange, Mass., died after he was shot in the abdomen in Keene, N.H., the state’s attorney general’s office said in a statement. Walker was found in a parking lot on Winchester Street by law enforcement responding to a 9-1-1 call, the AG’s office said. He was taken to Cheshire Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at 1:49 a.m.

The AG’s office said an autopsy determined Walker died from a single gunshot wound to his abdomen and that the manner of his death was homicide.

“While the exact circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under active investigation, all parties involved have been identified and there is no known threat to the general public at this time,” officials said in a statement.

The investigation, which is being conducted by the AG’s office, state police, and Keene police, is ongoing.
