Okay, what in heaven was going on with these three guys? Hunting each other or playing some kind of game? Weird stuff

Thank you Exeter Police for your quick response. It’s appreciated. I have family in Exeter and with the Rockingham Alert posted. I was able to get in touch with them and they were safe.

From what the Press Release said, the three men arrested were 19, 20 and 20 years old. I'm assuming that the other person might be around the same age and might be scared.

Anyone who might be armed and fearful may make some bad decisions.
