Woman's older son remains in critical condition; fourth family member expected to survive shooting

A woman who was critically injured in a shooting at a Whitefield trailer park last week has died of her injuries, according to the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office.

Amy Blake, 59, was one of four people who were shot at Hilltop Manor Trailer Park in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Aug. 11.

Authorities said members of the Whitefield Police Department, Lancaster Police Department and New Hampshire State Police responded to a motor vehicle accident at the trailer park, which eventually led them to discover a shooting at 3 Hilltop Manor St.

Blake and her two sons, Michael Marro and Eric Blake Jr., were found suffering from apparent gunshot wounds inside the home.

Eric Blake Jr., 29, was pronounced dead at the hospital. An autopsy conducted by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined that he died of a gunshot wound to the head, and his death was ruled a suicide.

The Attorney General's Office announced Monday that Amy Blake had died as a result of her injuries. An autopsy determined that she died of a gunshot wound to the head, and her death was ruled a homicide.

Marro, 41, remains in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head that officials described as "catastrophic."

Eric Blake Sr., 53, was also shot during the Aug. 11 incident. Officials said he was able to drive himself to a hospital, where he reported the shooting. The Attorney General's Office said he is expected to survive his injuries.

Investigators said that, at this time, it appears that Blake Jr. shot his mother, Marro and Blake Sr. before shooting and killing himself.

Because Blake Jr. did not survive, criminal charges cannot be brought against him, officials said.

The Attorney General's Office said it appears that mental illness was a likely contributing factor in Blake Jr.'s actions. Officials are reminding anyone in crisis that they can call, text or chat with trained crisis counselors any time by calling the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 or contacting the Crisis Text Line by texting "TALK" to 741741.

The investigation into the shooting remains open and ongoing.
