Oxford Police Chief Jonathan Tibbetts identified the man as 41-year-old Daniel Pulkkinen. A shotgun was recovered from the scene at 152 Hebron Road.
Police said Pulkkinen and his wife had a verbal argument in Lewiston around 4:30 p.m. and parted ways. After returning home, she found the bedroom door locked and when she couldn’t make contact with him she called the Oxford Police Department around 5:30 p.m.
After police escorted the wife from the home, officers established a perimeter and attempted to make contact with Pulkkinen. After nearly seven hours, a Maine State Police Tactical Team broke through a bedroom window and discovered Pulkkinen’s body.
Police closed Hebron and Whittemore roads for much of Tuesday evening.
