BANGOR, Maine — There is still no one in custody following a shooting in Bangor Saturday night that sent one man to the hospital, according to police.
Officers arrived around midnight to a parking lot on the Bangor campus of the University of Maine at Augusta, finding a man with gunshot wounds as well as the person they believe fired the gun.
Both are unhoused and living in their cars, police say. The area near where the shooting happened is home to a large homeless encampment.
One resident there remembers seeing two people fighting Saturday, before the shooting.
"I walked up to them to see what was going on,” Josh Smith said Monday, "and one of them pointed at the other one and the other one pointed at that one."
Later in the night, Smith was collecting cans when things escalated. "[I] got down to the bottom parking lot and ended up hearing gunshots," Smith said.
Though the shooting happened on property belonging to the University of Maine at Augusta, the college said nobody was in danger at the time, as there is no residential student body at the Bangor campus. Still, college spokesperson Brent Wooten says additional security measures are being taken.
"We have increased our patrols; our university staff patrols in the area around the campus." Cameras have been installed as well, according to Wooten.
As of now, Bangor police have not revealed whether charges have been filed against anyone involved in the shooting.
