One Dead After Calais Shooting

It's a grim Independence Day in Calais after a shooting leaves one man dead, and 3 injured, including a 6-week-old baby.

21-year-old Megan Sherrard of Calais is in critical condition at the Eastern Maine Medical Centre in Bangor after being shot twice in the chest.

Her son, Luca, is expected to recover after being grazed by a bullet.

Around 6pm last night, Calais Police Department got a call of shots fired at a home on Main Street.

Police say shortly after arriving on scene, police shot and killed 26-year-old Daniel Pinney, who is the baby's father, and who is believed to have shot the baby and Sherrard.

Calais PD veteran officer John Preston was also grazed by a bullet during the incident and is expected to recover.

An employee from Bells IGA tells CHSJ News Sherrard was a cashier at the store in Calais  and Pinney was a bagboy.
