WATERBORO, Maine — A New Hampshire man died Wednesday night after being shot by a York County sheriff's deputy in North Waterboro.
Deputies responded to a home on Rosemont Avenue shortly before 7 p.m. for a "reported disturbance," York County Sheriff William King said in a release.
NEWS CENTER Maine met Carol Briggs on Thursday, who said she lives across the street from the scene of the shooting. She's still wondering exactly how this happened near her home.
“This is a real nice, quiet neighborhood,” she said as she stood in her driveway. “My neighbors, all my neighbors, are nice and quiet. This is, literally, a peaceful, quiet neighborhood, considering there's a sheriff over here, too. We don't even know why, we just don't know why.”
During the investigation, deputies reportedly attempted to take 30-year-old Tyler Woodburn of Newmarket, New Hampshire, into custody. A struggle ensued, and Deputy Levi Johnson fired multiple shots, according to King.
Woodburn was pronounced dead at the scene.
Johnson was placed on administrative leave, which is standard protocol while the Office of the Maine Attorney General investigates the use of deadly force.
