OSSIPEE — John Swanson of Ossipee, who was involved in a standoff with police last fall and was shot by state troopers during an exchange of gunfire, may be partially paralyzed for life, his attorney said during a Carroll County Superior Court hearing Friday. 

On Dec. 20, a grand jury handed up two felony reckless conduct indictments against Swanson, 54. The indictments say he “recklessly engaged in conduct which placed, or may have placed another, in danger of serious bodily injury with a deadly weapon" when he "discharged a firearm at police officers responding to 35 Oakwood Drive, West Ossipee, NH.”
