WESTBROOK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- A Westbrook police officer shot a man in an early Saturday morning incident.
Westbrook Police said 26-year-old Sean Grossman was shot at a home on Longfellow Street by a Westbrook officer during an armed confrontation with police.
Police were responding to a call referencing a man with a handgun threatening suicide. Three officers responded to the scene. Officers found the man in his vehicle at the residence. Police Chief Janine Roberts said one of the officers got into a physical altercation with the man, while trying to disarm him, which led to the shooting.
Chief Roberts said Officer Benjamin Hall, who fired the shot, felt Grossman was about to use deadly force on the other officer or himself.
"It's certainly a stressful situation," said Chief Roberts. "First, is a concern for life -- the safety of life, my officers and then the individuals that are involved. Then it's making sure that we're doing things the way we should be -- following procedure, following law, and protecting the rights of all involved, as well making sure the investigation is thorough and done in a timely manner so that the individuals involved can have some type of resolution."
According to officials, the man was alive when he was transported to Maine Medical Center for treatment, and Chief Roberts said he is expected to live.
Chief Roberts said there are potential criminal charges against the man. All officers are safe and not injured, according to Roberts.
Chief Roberts said the officer who shot the man will be put on administrative leave.
"We're doing things the way we should be – following procedure, following law, protecting the rights of all involved, as well as making sure the investigation is thorough and done in a timely manner so that the individuals involved can have some type of resolution," said Chief Roberts. "The most important outcome that a life was saved."
