CONCORD — Authorities have identified the man shot and killed by a state trooper at the scene of a domestic incident late Saturday night as Christopher Tkal, 57, who for the last several years has served as a vice president at the Cheshire Medical Center in Keene.

According to a report published by the online news source Patch, Tkal was the vice president of quality, patient safety, and surgical services at the Keene-based medical center, which is a division of Dartmouth-Hitchcock.

Heather Atwell, a spokeswoman for the medical center, confirmed Monday that Tkal was employed at the center for the past seven years.

State and local police were dispatched shortly after 11 p.m. Saturday to 1461 County Road in response to a 911 call from someone reporting a domestic violence incident at that address, according to a report issued Monday by Senior Assistant Attorney General Benjamin Agati.

The residence is in the southeast corner of Walpole, less than a mile from the Westmoreland and Surry town lines.

State troopers were the first to arrive at the scene, Agati said. One of the residents, who police didn’t identify, met troopers outside the house, while other troopers went inside.

When they entered, Agati said, an “encounter ensued” with the other resident, and “during the encounter, one trooper discharged his weapon.”

The resident, later identified as Tkal, sustained gunshot wounds and died at the scene, Agati said.

He also said a loaded rifle was found underneath Tkal’s body. Agati didn’t say whether Tkal threatened troopers with the rifle, nor if he fired any shots before the trooper discharged his weapon.

The identity of the trooper involved is being withheld pending a formal interview, Agati said, noting that such procedure is “pursuant to protocol.”

An autopsy conducted by Deputy Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Mitchell Weinberg determined that the cause of Tkal’s death ws multiple gunshot wounds, and that the manner of death was homicide.

The term “homicide,” as used by the office of the Chief Medical Examiner, is defined as “the killing of one person by another,” Agati said.

No law enforcement officers or civilians were physically injured during the incident, he added.

None of the initial responding troopers were wearing body cameras, and there were no cameras in their cruisers, Agati said.
