      PELHAM, N.H. — The New Hampshire chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a part of Everytown for Gun Safety, released the following statement in response to reports that a shooting left at least two people wounded during a wedding at a Pelham church.

      “We’re horrified, and we’re keeping the Pelham community in our thoughts,” said Deirdre Reynolds, volunteer leader with the New Hampshire chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. “We have to do more to prevent gun violence in New Hampshire.”
