Manchester Police have arrested a fourth suspect in connection with a shooting that injured four people at a graduation party in Manchester, New Hampshire.
The shooting happened on the afternoon of May 13 near the intersection of Ahern Street and O'Malley Street. The victims included two women and two men, each in their 20s. All victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries and are expected to survive.
The multiple injuries in a crowded place prompted police to call for community help at the time, saying this kind of violence "cannot happen" in their city.
The Manchester Police Department said on June 3 that investigators arrested 19-year-old Kekoa Bissonnette of Southbridge, Massachusetts. Bissonnette is charged with four counts of reckless conduct with a deadly weapon.

This is evidence of the Manchester Police Department’s strong commitment to reducing gun violence and keeping our city safe. This type of behavior will not be tolerated.”
