More details are being released about a shooting at the Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua. Court documents say the alleged shooter, Hunter Nadeau, targeted a restaurant because he wanted to punish wealthy people who eat there for not helping the poor. The shooting took the life of 59-year-old Robert DeCesare, who was dining with his family and tried to protect them from gunfire. Two other people were injured but survived.
