Maine Department of Public Safety spokesperson Shannon Moss says State Police responded Friday to a report of a possible domestic violence incident happening at a Hiram home. When Trooper Zachary Fancy arrived at the scene, he entered the residence and was confronted by a man who allegedly pointed a firearm at him. Trooper Fancy fired his weapon and struck the suspect.
