GREENLAND — Police are currently speaking with an alleged suspect after at least one, possibly three, officers were shot this evening.

Shortly after 6:30 p.m. police broadcasts indicated up to four officers may be down in the area of Post Road near Breakfast Hill Road.

From the scene Foster's staff says three officers were shot and one was down in the middle of a nearby road and a police broadcast said the Greenland Police Chief was en route to the Portsmouth Hospital.

Seacoastonline.com reports the incident is believed to be occuring at 517 Post Road, saying a neighbor heard gunshots fired and saw police run from the house. She believed it was a drug bust "gone bad."
