Authorities are conducting an active and extensive search for multiple suspects in Springvale, Maine, following a violent incident that began early Tuesday morning. According to police reports, officers attempted to stop a vehicle near the intersection of Shaw Street and Lebanon Street in Sanford around 1 a.m. During the traffic stop, individuals inside the car allegedly fired multiple shots at a police officer and their cruiser. No injuries were reported among the law enforcement personnel involved. The vehicle subsequently fled the scene, leading to a high-speed chase that ended when the car was discovered abandoned near the entrance to the McKeon Environmental Reserve in Springvale. The abandoned vehicle was later removed by a flatbed truck as part of the ongoing investigation. The search area covers over 100 acres of the reserve, which includes approximately two and a half miles of walking trails. In response to the incident, a large law enforcement response was mobilized, featuring tactical gear units, armored vehicles, K9 teams, and a helicopter providing aerial surveillance. FBI agents also arrived at the scene by mid-afternoon to assist with the manhunt. Police have described the gunfire as a targeted attack against officers and confirmed that multiple suspects remain at large. One suspect is believed to be potentially armed. While police have not directly confirmed if the suspects currently pose an immediate threat to the broader community, they have urged residents to remain vigilant. Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact 911 immediately if they see suspicious activity or individuals matching the description of the suspects. Residents in the area have expressed concern over the unusual police activity, with some locking their doors and staying indoors as the search continues. The investigation is ongoing, and officials continue to appeal to the public for assistance in locating the individuals involved in the shooting.
