An independent commission investigating a mass shooting in Maine plans to hear more testimony from law enforcement sources on communications and coordination problems. The panel’s chair said last week that commissioners intend to address some of the “disturbing allegations” contained in a Portland police after-action report.
FILE - A body is wheeled out on a stretcher at Schemengees Bar and Grille, Oct. 26, 2023, in Lewiston, Maine . An independent commission investigating the deadliest shooting in Maine history plans to hear more testimony from law enforcement sources on communications and coordination problems. FILE - Law enforcement officers stand near armored and tactical vehicles in Bowdoin, Maine , following a mass shooting, Oct. 26, 2023.
The commission previously heard testimony from law enforcement officials about the evening of Oct. 25, when law enforcement agencies mobilized for a search as additional police officers poured into the region. State Police took over coordination of the search for the gunman, whose body was found dead from suicide two days later.
At one point, a tactical vehicle from the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office nearly crashed into another tactical vehicle from the Portland Police Department near that scene. A Portland Police Department after-action report suggested the occupants of the Cumberland County vehicle had been drinking but the sheriff denied that his deputies were intoxicated.
