Officer Steve Arkell was shot and killed trying to enter the home. He was shot from an elevated position, according to New Hampshire State Police.
Nolan owned three handguns and three rifles, all of which were legal, according to CBS Boston. The fire and explosion destroyed a lot of potential evidence, according to officials.
It’s still unclear how Nolan died. New Hampshire Associate Attorney General Jane Young told reporters autopsy results may not be available for some time.
The elder Nolan has had difficulty explaining what happened before the deadly confrontation, according to NECN.
