The house was at the centre of a stand-off between a gunman and police, following which a police officer lost his life and the gunman is presumed dead.

According to reports, shots were fired in a stand-off at a house in Brentwood, New Hampshire yesterday and when cameras from WCVB5 arrived at the scene, they captured flames coming from the house and, eventually, a massive explosion that was broadcast live.

Sadly, it has emerged that a police officer was shot dead at the scene, while the suspected gunman, thought to be the son of the homeowner, is also presumed dead.
