LINCOLN (AP) — A judge has denied bail for a Maine man accused of shooting and killing his mother.

Adam Groves, of Lincoln, made his first appearance before a judge on Friday in Bangor. He was charged the day before with the murder in the killing of his mother, 63-year-old Pauline Taylor.

Lincoln police discovered Taylor had been shot after receiving a 911 call Wednesday evening from her home. Taylor and her son were both transported to a hospital, and Groves was taken to jail upon his release. Groves’ attorney called the shooting “an unfortunate incident.”
