LIMERICK — A 57-year-old Limerick man faces attempted murder charges after allegedly firing a gun during an altercation outside a residence Saturday afternoon.
Maine State Police responded to reports of shots fired at approximately 3:15 p.m. at 17 Prokey Drive in Limerick.
According to investigators, Steven Henry was observed doing a burnout in his vehicle in the roadway near the residence.
When the homeowner came outside, an altercation occurred during which Henry allegedly discharged a firearm.
A Southern Field Troop Trooper later located the suspect vehicle, a maroon Nissan Titan pickup truck, on Shaving Hill Road in Limington.
When the trooper arrived, both the driver and a passenger were outside the vehicle and attempted to flee in the truck but remained in the immediate area.
With assistance from a Maine Game Warden, both individuals were located and detained nearby.
A Maine State Police K9 recovered a handgun, believed to be the weapon used in the incident, approximately 40 yards from where the vehicle was found.
Further investigation revealed the passenger had not been present during the shooting, and no charges are being filed against that individual at this time.
Henry was taken into custody without incident and transported to the York County Jail.
He has been charged with attempted murder, reckless conduct with a firearm and discharge of a firearm near a dwelling.
The investigation remains ongoing.
