HERMON, Maine — A local man went to Kenduskeag and shot a vehicle on Sunday evening, and was headed to his Hermon home when Maine State Police called Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office asking for assistance, a dispatcher from Penobscot Regional Communications Center confirmed.
The Hermon man reportedly drove home to his residence on Buck Lane about 6 p.m. and was followed by at least 10 law enforcement vehicles, which blocked access to the short dead-end roadway.
Deputy Chief Troy Morton of the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office arrived shortly afterward and was seen by Bangor Daily News photographer Gabor Degre stopping his police cruiser to put on his bulletproof vest and other protective gear before proceeding to the scene.
Other law enforcement officers with guns drawn also could be seen at 6:30 p.m. walking down Buck Lane, which is located about half a mile from Hermon Mountain Ski Area, off Creamery Road.
Maine State Police are handling the Kenduskeag vehicle shooting and the Hermon standoff, but were still at the scene and unable to speak to the media, a dispatcher at the Orono Troop E barracks said at 8 p.m. Sunday.
We’ll have more on this story as details become available.

There is no such thing as a bulletproof vest. I wish the media would stop using that word but they never will.
Tell us what is the correct verbiage.
Bullet resistant or ballistic vest.
It actually is one of the correct verbiage, and it is also the brand name in one case. It is the name of a Texas company that makes these things (www.bulletproofME.com). Other correct verbiage is ballistic vest or bullet resistant vest.

Just because it is a brand name doesn’t make it true.
I agree with you for once. body armor is what they use… there are some large caliber bullets that don’t know they should stop because of the labels on the collars
It has hit the suburb’s . We just can’t get away from it. Is it something in the water?
It’s always been there. The only change is now that the news is everywhere.
Must be the arsenic.
They better set up a tight perimeter – we can’t let this guy get away like the last one!

Michael McKay rented the trailer where he lived on Buck Lane from Bob and Gail Carlson
Interesting. Bob, the “Rev” Carlson?
No. His wife’s name wasn’t Gail. The name “Carlson” is nearly as popular as the name “Bob.” Stop trying to make a story out of something it’s not.
Thanks for the real news source! We will get that update here in about 2 days.
I see the basis for another stupid TV reality show.
I hope whatever he was mad about was important enough to give up his young life for.
