New Hampshire Newsmakers of the Year 2006: Officer Michael Briggs

In October New Hampshire residents were saddened to hear of the death of police officer Michael Briggs. The 36 year old officer, an eleven-year veteran of Manchester's police force, was allegedly shot dead by Michael "Stix" Addison, the first murder of a Manchester police officer in thirty years. Prosecutors are hoping to seek the death penalty against Addison; if successful, it would be the first use of capital punishment in the state in over seven decades.
