NASHUA – A Good Samaritan, known only as Jeff, recently came forward as the man who stopped the shooting at Sky Meadow Country Club.

“I haven’t even processed the entire thing,” he said during an interview with WHDH.

Jeff, who was out to dinner with his family that night, could not sleep for 48 hours after the Sept. 20 shooting.

“I’d close my eyes and I’d see a guy with a gun,” he said.

When alleged gunman Hunter Nadeau of Nashua stormed into the country club and opened fire, Jeff knew he had to do something to stop the rampage.

“I grabbed a stool by the legs and hit him over the head as hard as I possibly could,” he said. “I didn’t want him to shoot anybody else.”

Nadeau dropped his weapon at that point.

Although Jeff has been credited with saving many lives that night, he does not consider himself to be a hero, but rather someone who stepped up and did the right thing.

“I’d do it again,” he said.

Robert DeCesare of Nashua was also at Sky Meadow that night with his wife, Charlene, and their daughter, Makayla, to discuss her upcoming wedding. During the shooting, DeCesare dove in front of his family and died in a hail of bullets while saving the lives of his wife and daughter.

Brianna Surette of Georgetown, Mass. was having dinner with her husband, Doug, to celebrate their five-year wedding anniversary when Nadeau reportedly shot her in the leg.

Employee Steven Burtman of Lowell, Mass. was on duty at a wedding reception when Nadeau reportedly shot him in the face. Burtman was flown to Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and spent four days under sedation. He underwent two reconstructive surgeries and has since been released. However, Burtman’s mouth will remain wired shut for the next several months with the possibility of additional surgeries.

Nadeau, a former Sky Meadow employee, was arrested 30 minutes after the shooting. He remains in custody and is charged with second-degree murder. Under state law, if convicted, he could face up to life in prison.
