VASSALBORO, Maine — One person is dead and another injured following a shooting in an apartment building on Main Street in Vassalboro Monday morning.

State police were called to 513 Main St. at about 9:12 a.m. for reports of an argument followed by multiple gunshots, Lt. Jeff Love of the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit said Monday afternoon.
