police shooting

Police shot and killed a man involved in an hours-long standoff in Northern Maine yesterday. Maine State Police say 29-year-old Steven Righini was responsible for wounding a sheriff's deputy and killing a state police K-9.

The man was taken to Maine Medical Center with serious injuries.

Police say 47-year-old Christapher Dodge engaged officers in an "armed confrontration," where he was shot and later pronounced dead.

Too few medical professionals are available to provide weapons restriction assessments on those who are believed to be a danger to themselves or their communities, according to the latest report from the Deadly Force Review Panel.

The state's Deadly Force Review Panel says the lack of mental health services in rural Maine contributes to situations that can escalate into cases of lethal force by police officers.
