The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office said Thursday that six state troopers were legally justified when they fired their guns last fall during an armed standoff in Plymouth.<\/p>\n

Officials said the standoff happened in November at the Federal House Inn. Investigators said an attorney and his assistant went there to discuss a court-ordered deadline to refinance the property.<\/p>\n

Officials said the property owner, Kevin Steinfeldt, put a gun against the assistant’s head and fired as the man pulled away. He then threatened both men with a meat cleaver, investigators said.<\/p>\n

The men were able to get out of the building before a standoff began between police and Steinfeldt.<\/p>\n

Several hours later, Steinfeldt opened a doorway with a rifle in his hand, officials said. According to the report, six troopers opened fire at the same time that Steinfeldt shot himself.<\/p>\n

An autopsy confirmed he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
