Brunswick Homeless Shelter Shooting Leaves 1 Dead [UPDATE]

Brunswick Police say one person is dead and another was injured after a double shooting at a homeless shelter.

WGME-TV reports the incident started when an armed man with a handgun allegedly broke into one of the apartment-type units at the Tedford Housing Shelter on Federal Street, just after 11 Monday night. Two people were in the apartment at the time and one of them struggled with the intruder. In the struggle, both the intruder and one of the occupants was shot.
