Police say officers responding to a domestic violence incident in Blue Hill early Tuesday fatally shot a man.
Shannon Moss with the Maine Department of Public Safety says Maine State Police and the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office responded around 2:30 a.m. to a report of a domestic disturbance involving an injured woman being held against her will.
27-year-old Peter Pfister was inside the home, and was reportedly armed. Crisis negotiators and a tactical team were called in.
According to Maine State Police, Pfister was shot and killed during an armed confrontation with two troopers and a deputy sheriff outside the residence.
Detective Scott Duff and Cpl. Caleb McGary with Maine State Police and Hancock County Deputy Sheriff Dylan Hall were placed on administrative leave, which is standard for all police-involved shootings.
The woman was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
No other information was available on Tuesday.
