When a gunman opened fire at a country-club restaurant in New Hampshire on Saturday night, patrons did their best to intervene and stop him, the authorities said — and it cost one man his life.
That man, Robert DeCesare Jr., was fatally shot while trying to protect his family, his mother, Evie O’Rourke, said on Monday.
Mr. DeCesare had been eating dinner with his wife and daughter at the Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua, N.H., when the gunfire started. Ms. O’Rourke said the two women saw Mr. DeCesare move toward the gunman and then fall to the ground.
When she heard the initial news reports about the shooting, Ms. O’Rourke said, “we never, ever imagined that when they said one man was killed, that one man was my son.”
The police arrested a suspect shortly after the shooting. The suspect, Hunter Nadeau, 23, was arraigned in Nashua on Monday afternoon and charged with second-degree murder. He is being held without bail.
