BANGOR DAILY NEWS • March 3, 2023

Two teenage boys have been charged this week in a shooting in Calais that injured a 31-year-old man. The man contacted police on Feb. 18 to report he was just assaulted on a walking trail near South Street, according to police. His alleged attackers fled by the time officers responded, and the man was taken first to a local hospital and then to another in Bangor with a gunshot wound that was not life-threatening. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office, which is investigating the case, said Friday it arrested a 16-year-old boy from Robbinston on March 1 on a charge of elevated aggravated assault. A second 16-year-old boy from Calais has been summoned on a charge of assault in connection with the shooting.
