Report identifies system failures in NH domestic violence case that ended in murder-suicide

"Reviews like this are critical to evaluate what we are doing well and what can be improved,” said Lyn Schollett of the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Violence.

Gleason was out of jail on just $5,000 bail at the time of the shooting, accused of sexually assaulting Fuentes a couple of months earlier. Just two days prior to the shooting, Berlin Police were notified about threatening comments that Gleason had made to a friend about killing Fuentes. But according to the Attorney General’s report, the department dropped the ball following up on a welfare check.

One recommendation from the report is more domestic violence training for officers. “We support more training for any professional that is responding to victims, and it is important that the training include the evidence-based research that is out there,” Schollett said.
