An autopsy performed by OCME confirmed that McHugh died from a gunshot wound, and her death has been ruled a homicide.

Police said on Wednesday that they will not be releasing any further details on the other victims of the shooting at this time.

No arrests in connection to the shooting have been made.

Portland Police have said that they “don’t believe there is any threat to the public at this time,” and are urging anyone who may have seen or heard anything possibly related to the shooting to call investigators at (207) 874-8575.

    why is not called a mass shooting? because the victims are black maybe?! and how can the public not be in any danger? did the shooter/shooters hit all the intended targets? now they are facing homicide what lenghts are they willing to go to get away? id bet they would choose my life over theirs…..
