Update: AG IDs man injured amid police shooting during mental health check in Pelham
Authorities are investigating an overnight shooting after police responded to a reported mental health crisis in Pelham.
The shooting happened Friday night after Pelham Police responded to a 911 call about an armed man in mental distress at a residence on Nashua Road, according to a news release from state Attorney General John M. Formella.
Police say they found a man, later identified as Sheldon Brockelbank, 33, at the location. During the encounter Brockelbank fired a handgun multiple times at officers, according to the report.
"Two officers then used deadly force, and one officer used less-than-lethal force," the release says.
Brockelbank was wounded and taken to a hospital for treatment, where he was reportedly in stable condition Saturday afternoon. No officers were injured in the incident.
The Pelham Police Department charged Brockelbank with reckless conduct and will be arraigned at a date to be determined by Salem District Court.
The release said the identities of the officers involved will be withheld pending a formal interview, expected sometime next week.
