The firearm was stolen from my neighbor, I actually got them on my doorbell and yard security cameras at 4:24 in the morning. Except there was two of them so I’m not sure if the female was the other suspect.
Don’t let him make it to 17
They both are transported to receive an award from Biden and Mills administration.
So the article is lacking a lot of pertinent information, were there parents in this residence? Is this another example of ‘new’ Mainers? As citizens we should know what is the ‘trend’ now that we need to prepare for.
