19 years - Never Forgotten - Rest easy Briggsy.
Officer Michael L. Briggs was born on May 2, 1971 in Manchester, New Hampshire. Upon graduating from Pembroke Academy he served four years in the United States Marine Corps. Briggs worked as a Correctional Officer with the Hillsborough County Department of Correction from 1995 until 2001. From 1995 until 1998 Briggs also worked as a part-time Police Officer for the Epsom Police Department. He was hired by Manchester Police Department in 2001.
In the early morning of October 16, 2006, Officer Briggs was shot while attempting to speak with two individuals regarding reports of gunfire during a domestic disturbance on Lake Avenue. Officer Briggs, died on October 17, 2006 - he was 35 years old.
The suspect fled the state but was arrested later in the day while hiding in his grandmother's home in Dorchester, Massachusetts. In an odd twist, it was discovered that the suspect was the same man whose life Officer Briggs had saved in 2003 following a shooting.
Officer Briggs was survived by his wife, Laura, their two sons Brian and Mitchell, his parents, and three sisters.
