BELGRADE, Maine — A Belgrade woman is recovering after she was seriously injured during a shooting incident Sunday, and her son has been arrested and charged in connection with the case.
Emergency officials were called around 11 a.m. for a report of a shooting at a home on Point Road. Maine State Police, Belgrade Rescue, and Delta Ambulance responded to the scene, where they found a woman seriously injured, Maine Department of Public Safety spokesperson Shannon Moss shared Monday in a news release.
