"The New Hampshire Attorney General says Durham police officers were justified in shooting and injuring an armed man in Lee last year.\"A number of police officers tried to talk him into giving up the gun, letting them get him help; and he refused all of those commands and continually threatened them and was aggressive in his postures and movements and how he was holding the gun and flailing it around,\" Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell said.Morrell said the incident began on Dec. 3 when Steven Amazeen's wife asked for a divorce. He fired his handgun into the floor of their bedroom before leaving and firing another shot into a barn on his property while his wife called police, Morrell said.\"He made a number of statements indicating he intended to shoot one of the police officers if they didn't shoot him, and then in the end he pointed his gun at one of the Durham police officers, and that's when the other two Durham officers fired on Mr. Amazeen,\"\u00A0Morrell said.Attorney General Michael Delaney said that when police arrived, he threatened to shoot himself and the officers, refused to comply with police orders to drop the weapon, and pointed a gun at one of the officers.\"He had some relationship issues, financial issues and maybe some other related mental-health issues that caused him to have something of a breakdown that evening. He was suicidal; that was the initial 911 call,\" Morrell said.Durham Police Sgt. Jack Dalton and police Officer John Lavoie fired a total of nine times and hit Amazeen in the shoulder and leg.Delaney said Amazeen created a situation in which the officers reasonably believed that they or others were in danger of death or serious bodily injury.Amazeen was shot in his shoulder and legs, but survived the shooting."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
