Police: Maine Man Charged in Shooting Rampage Confessed
HOULTON, Maine (AP) - Maine state police say a gunman charged with killing two people chased down a woman he’s accused of kidnapping after she fled through a bathroom window.
An affidavit providing details was made public Monday as 35-year-old Anthony Lord appeared before a judge in Houlton. In the document, police said Lord confessed to the shootings.
Friday’s shootings in several northern Maine communities killed 58-year-old Kevin Tozier and 22-year-old Kyle Hewitt.
Police say Lord kidnapped Hewitt’s girlfriend, 22-year-old Brittany Irish, and shot her 55-year-old mother, Kim Irish, at a home in Benedicta.
Police said Brittany Irish nearly got away by flagging down a pickup truck but was abducted after Lord opened fire. She was with Lord when he was arrested at his uncle’s home in Houlton.
