BELFAST, Maine (AP) — The Maine attorney general’s office is investigating a confrontation in Belfast that ended with a police officer shooting a young man who was armed with a shotgun.

The Belfast Police Department says officers attempted to stop a vehicle shortly before midnight that had refused to stop for an officer in the neighboring town of Searsport.

When the suspect’s vehicle eventually stopped at the intersection of Route 141 and Smart Road, police say the driver stepped out with a shotgun.

Officials say the driver was ordered to put the gun down, and he ended up being shot by Belfast Officer Dan Fitzpatrick.

Police have not released the identity or the condition of the man who was shot.
