Police Say the Statewide Alert on Windham Shooter Was Sent Late and by Mistake.

The statewide alert was sent due to a geo-fencing error, causing confusion after a local shooting, officials said. Local alerts are limited to opt-in residents, unlike statewide alerts.

The Maine Emergency Management Agency said nearly every phone in Maine received the notification about a gunman at large due to a 'geo-fencing error' but wouldn't say why it was sent more than two hours after the shooting.
