A deputy has gunshot wounds, a K-9 is injured, and a suspect is dead after being shot by police in Aroostook County.

Police say 29-year-old Steven Righini got into an hours long standoff with officers who were called to a domestic dispute in Portage Monday.

Officers say he shot at them numerous times, hitting a deputy and a K-9, before they returned fire and eventually hit and killed him at about 8 pm.

An infant in the home was not harmed, while three officers are on administrative leave after the incident.

As it unfolded, Maine State Police and the Aroostook County Sheriff’s Office say they were called to 20 Ranger Street in Portage for a report of a domestic dispute between a woman and Righini.

They say the woman was out of the house when they arrived, and Righini was inside with their 4-week-old infant.

Troopers and Deputies say they communicated with Mr. Righini through a window and on the telephone and persuaded him to come outside but were not able to take him into custody.

They say a struggle followed and Righini pulled a gun from his waistband and shot at the officers as he retreated into his residence.

As the Deputies and Troopers attempted to back out of the driveway, they say Righini grabbed another gun and fired at then, hitting Deputy Shane Campbell in the shoulder.

Officers say Deputy Reid Clark then shot at Mr. Righini, a sequence which was followed by several hours of attempted negotiations.

They say Righini refused to surrender and eventually tried to flee the residence in a vehicle, but Maine State Police Tactical Team members disabled his vehicle, and he fled on foot.

Officers say Righini fired a shot at a State Police K-9 and wounded the dog at about 8 p.m. before pointing a gun at troopers.

They say troopers Andrew Hardy and Jonathan Russell then shot Mr. Righini, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

The infant child was not injured and was returned to her mother.

K-9 Preacher was taken to an emergency vet and went through surgery with serious injuries.

Deputy Reid Clark, Trooper Andrew Hardy and Trooper Jonathan Russell are all being placed on administrative leave as is standard protocol while the Attorney General’s Office investigates the use of deadly force in the police involved shooting.

Deputy Shane Campbell was transported to Northern Light hospital in Presque Isle for treatment and was later released.
