Man injured in Vt. officer-involved shooting taken into custody in NH

LEBANON, N.H. (WCAX) – A man wanted in connection with an officer-involved shooting in Vermont that left him injured has been taken into custody by police in New Hampshire.

Monday, New Hampshire troopers arrested Brendan Sackal, 30, of Rockville, Rhode Island, on a fugitive from justice warrant.

Sackal was receiving care at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center following a shooting involving Vermont State Police in Burke. He was taken to jail on Tuesday.

On July 14, Sackal allegedly led police on a more than 60-mile chase across Vermont and New Hampshire that ended in an officer-involved shooting. Sackal was critically injured in the shootout.

The fugitive from justice warrant was issued based on various charges in Vermont from the July incident.

Sackal is set to be arraigned Wednesday on more than a dozen charges, including attempted aggravated murder and attempted aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
