BANGOR (NEWS CENTER Maine) — Police say they are investigating an officer-involved shooting at a home on Grove Street, near Somerset Street in Bangor.
A Bangor officer shot a man outside 112 Grove Street, police say, after a brief confrontation.
Police were called to the home shortly after 11 a.m. Tuesday for a report of a domestic violence disturbance. When officers arrived at the home, police say they were approached by a man who had a weapon. During the brief confrontation, a "newer" Bangor officer shot the man.
That officer was later identified as Dylan Hall, who has been with the department for slightly more than one year. He was placed on administrative leave.
The man was brought to a nearby hospital, but there is no word yet on the extent of his injuries. No police were injured.
The altercation took place on a lawn outside a home on Grove Street, according to Bangor Police.
Crime Scene Investigators were on scene, and police say a portion of the road would be shut down for several hours as the investigation continues.

A neighbor who walks along Grove Street nearly every day with her parrots said she didn’t know about the shooting until she saw the large police presence in her neighborhood.
