He is described as a white male, approximately 5'10" tall and weighing 160 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.##


The shootings occurred at around 11 a.m. on Friday at three different locations in Norridgewock, a town of about 3,500 people. The first victim was found dead at a residence on Somerset Avenue. The second victim was found dead at a business on Main Street. The third victim was found dead at a residence on East Main Street.

Police have not released the identities of the victims, but they say they were all known to the suspect.##

The shootings have also raised concerns about gun violence in Maine. The state has a relatively low rate of gun violence, but there have been a number of high-profile shootings in recent years.

In 2015, a man shot and killed six people at a workplace in Crandon, Maine. In 2016, a man shot and killed three people at a Walmart in Waterville, Maine.

The shootings in Norridgewock are the latest reminder of the dangers of gun violence. It is important to have a conversation about gun violence in our country and to find ways to prevent these tragedies from happening in the future.#
