SALEM, N.H. (CBS) – An armed man was shot by police officers on a street in Salem, New Hampshire on Thursday.

Salem Police said officers were responding to a report of a man threatening to commit suicide earlier in the morning. When they arrived at the home on South Policy Street, they found a man in the middle of the road with a knife.

As officers approached the man, police said he attacked and officers fired.

The man was taken to Lawrence General Hospital. His current condition is not known.

    It probably depends on whose definition of “attacked”… It does seem strange that so many would be sicicides are killed by the Police. Maybe the Police shouldn’t be sent on these type of calls that they are obviously incompetent in handeling.

    Sory about all the typos….The printing is still too faint to read and if you go back to cvorrect typos the whole thing times out and disappaers so you can’t make the comment anyway.
