EXETER — Three men have been arrested and a fourth remains at large after Exeter Police responded to a report of gunfire in the area of the Swasey Town Forrest on April 1 at approximately 12:24 p.m.
Upon arrival, officers encountered four individuals in the wooded area, at least two of them armed with handguns, one of whom was also wearing a ski mask.
The four men fled on foot into the woods towards a construction development.
Area schools were notified to lock down out of an abundance of caution.
One of the armed subjects was quickly apprehended.
Two others were later found emerging from the wood line near Industrial Drive and were taken into custody.
A second firearm was recovered.
The fourth subject remains unidentified.
Arrested for Resisting Arrest/Detention were Luis Rosado, 20, of Worcester, Mass.; Luis Negron, 20, of Lowell, Mass.; and Xavier Deleon, 19, of Lawrence, Mass.
Further charges are pending as evidence continues to be recovered.
