Steven E. Hall, a 52-year-old resident of Bristol, New Hampshire, was found dead in his home on March 29, 2019. An autopsy determined that his death was a homicide caused by a gunshot wound.
The investigation revealed that Steven was shot by his 24-year-old son, also named Steven Hall. The younger Hall claimed self-defense, stating that his father had approached him with a knife.
This account was corroborated by his girlfriend, who was on the phone with him at the time and heard the altercation.
After a thorough investigation, the Attorney General's office concluded that there was insufficient evidence to disprove the claim of self-defense. As a result, no homicide charges were filed against the younger Steven Hall. This tragic incident highlights the complexities surrounding cases of domestic violence and self-defense.
