(BIDDLEFORD, Maine) — Federal immigration authorities were involved in a fatal shooting in Biddeford, Maine, according to the state’s governor and multiple sources.
Maine Gov. Janet Mills said in a statement that at least one person was killed in the incident.
“I have been briefed on the fatal shooting in Biddeford this morning involving Federal law enforcement,” Mills said. “I know situations like these are alarming and frightening. The Maine State Police are at the scene supporting and working cooperatively with the Attorney General’s Office, Maine’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner, and Federal officials to determine the facts of what occurred this morning.”
Other local elected leaders, including Maine Speaker Ryan Fecteau, also someone died during the incident.
“A person was killed. ICE was involved,” Fecteau alleged in a post on his Facebook account. “State Police and the Department of Public Safety are now on scene to gather details and would expect the FBI to investigate as well.”
The FBI said the agency “responded to assist on-scene immediately following this morning’s shooting incident in Biddeford, Maine. We have no additional comment at this time.”
