VAIL, Colo. (AP) -- Police say gunfire at a bar near the Colorado ski resort town of Vail killed one and injured two and a New Hampshire native was quickly arrested in connection with the shooting.

The town of Vail has identified the shooting suspect as 63-year-old Richard Moreau, of Vail and a native of New Hampshire. Officials say he's being held in the town's jail.

Witnesses told the Vail Daily newspaper that the man fired several shots, then re-entered the bar and fired several more shots. Police received an emergency call at around 7:30 p.m.

Vail Police Chief Dwight Henninger says one of the injured victims has suffered significant injuries. The second person wasn't severely wounded.

Police haven't released the names of the victims.
