THORNTON, New Hampshire (WMUR) — The 18-year-old brother of a 21-year-old Plymouth State University student found dead in a Thornton home Monday is expected to appear in court Tuesday after being charged in her death, according to authorities.
Logan Anderson is charged with one count of second-degree murder in the death of his sister, Leah Anderson.
An autopsy is also scheduled Tuesday as investigators continue working to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
Police were called to a home on Mad River Road shortly before 9 a.m. Monday.
The Attorney General’s Office said officers found Leah Anderson suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. She was taken to a hospital, where she later died.
Authorities have released few details about what led to the shooting, and officials said the investigation remains ongoing.
Leah Anderson was majoring in elementary education and youth development at Plymouth State University, according to the Attorney General’s Office.
People who live in the area said they did not hear or see anything unusual until police began arriving Monday morning.
“They had the roadblock, and that was about 9:30 a.m., 9:15 a.m.,” neighbor Bob Imonti said.
“You almost never hear sirens here. It’s very quiet. You come out at night, and it’s dead silent. It’s nice. So, yeah. When I heard the sirens this morning, I knew something was up. It’s not usual,” neighbor Karl Bewersdorf said.
Bewersdorf described the Anderson family as kind and well-known in the neighborhood.
“I’ve dealt with them before,” he said. “They’re very nice people, a nice family.”
Logan Anderson is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday. WMUR will provide updates from court and additional information from investigators as it becomes available.
