WALDO, Maine — The Maine attorney general's office is investigating an officer-involved shooting Sunday evening on East Waldo Road.
State police were called at about 5 p.m. to a Waldo home where a woman reported that she had fled her home with her three-year-old daughter following a domestic incident, Maine Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Shannon Moss said.
As troopers investigated, 30-year-old Kote Aldus allegedly began firing shots in the direction of the home, Moss said.
The woman's two-week-old baby was reportedly still inside the home with Aldus.
Trooper Tyler Harrington, a member of the tactical team, fired back at the home, and a three-hour "standoff" ensued, Moss said.
She declined to share any details of how the incident was resolved.
Aldus was taken to a Belfast hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, Moss said. He was charged with domestic violence assault.
The infant was unharmed, Moss said.
Harrington remains on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
