Bangor, Maine News Update: August 22, 2018

State Police are working on what appears to have been a scary road rage incident on the interstate in Howland last night.

There’s no word on whether the shooter has been found.

Mainers are reminded not to touch wild animals and especially to never bring them into their own homes after a Kennebunkport person was bitten several times while trying to help a sick raccoon. The animal also bit a warden before testing positive for rabies. Both the resident and the warden are now undergoing rabies treatments.
