Police responded to Woodford St. just after 1 a.m. Tuesday after receiving reports of an argument between a group of people and the sound of gunshots.

When officers arrived, they found a 43-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman in the roadway, both had been shot.

Officers rendered aid to the victims until they were both transported to Maine Medical Center.

A press release from the Portland Police Dept. said the man succumbed to his injuries, while the woman’s injuries were non-life threatening.
