NH man with gun charged after campground standoff

RAYMOND, N.H. -- Police say a New Hampshire man armed with a gun is facing charges after threatening to kill himself at a crowded campground.

Raymond police went to Pine Acres RV Resort on Sunday night after receiving a report of an intoxicated man threatening suicide. Police say the man ran into a trailer and barricaded himself when officers arrived.

Fifty-three-year-old Mark Cormier of Raymond9 was eventually coaxed out of the trailer and taken to a hospital for an evaluation. Police say he will be charged with criminal threatening.

The Southern New Hampshire Special Operations Unit, state police and several nearby police departments helped end the standoff safely.
