A Bedford police officer is recovering at home after being shot in the upper thigh by his own gun during a struggle with a suspect early Saturday morning. The incident occurred when two patrol officers responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle near the Country Inn and Suites. The suspect, identified as Jared Masseur, 40, of Nashua, fled on foot and resisted arrest, leading to a struggle.
During the struggle, Masseur reached for the officer's holster, causing the officer's gun to discharge and strike him in the thigh. The wounded officer gained control of his weapon and called for his K9, Odin, who assisted in apprehending Masseur. Masseur sustained minor injuries from the scuffle and was treated at a local hospital. Bedford Police Chief Daniel Douidi expressed gratitude that the officer's injuries were not life-threatening and emphasized the seriousness of such incidents for law enforcement
