Sununu Cancels Inauguration Over Armed Protesters

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) announced that his outdoor inauguration ceremony scheduled for next week is being canceled because of concerns over armed protesters, WMUR reports.

Said Sununu: “My first responsibility is ensuring the safety of my family and our citizens. For weeks, armed protesters have increasingly become more aggressive, targeting my family, protesting outside my private residence and trespassing on my property — an outdoor public ceremony simply brings too much risk. We do not make this decision lightly, but it is the right thing to do.”
