The Associated Press

HERMON — Maine State Police say one of the two men shot after they allegedly forced themselves into an apartment in central Maine has died.

Police are not releasing the names of either man.

Sgt. Mike Burgess of the Penobscot County Sheriff's Department said police were called at 9:45 a.m. Thursday after two men and a woman burst into an apartment on Route 2 in Hermon shared by two men in their 20s.

Burgess said one of men who lived there pulled out a small handgun and fired three shots, hitting the two men.

Burgess said the injured men then drove themselves to a Bangor hospital for medical treatment.

One of them died Thursday and the other was treated and released from the hospital, after being charged by the sheriff's department.
