Man Killed in Maine Shooting; Suspect Found by Police

Authorities issued a 20-mile shelter-in-place order during the police search after a fatal shooting near a McDonald's in North Windham, officials said.

  • Erin Hayne, 33, was shot multiple times and killed around 1:55 p.m. Friday at Route 302 and Landing Road in Windham, Maine.
  • The shooting led to a shelter-in-place order and manhunt for suspect James Ford, 48, who fled the scene in a silver sedan near Windham and Raymond town line.
  • Police found Ford's vehicle at a Dunkin' in Raymond and located the suspect shortly after, but Major Lucas Hare withheld the suspect’s status.
  • Officials reported that a statewide emergency notification warning of a “Gunman at large in North Windham” was mistakenly issued during the search.
  • Authorities confirmed Hayne's death was a homicide and later reported Ford died by self-inflicted gunshot, with the investigation ongoing and no public threat.
