Maine State Police say a woman was critically injured at the same address where a Saco man was arrested for a shooting in Biddeford.

Who Was Arrested?

Lorenze A. Labonte, 25, of Saco, was arrested on Monday by Maine State Police at his home on Temple Street. WGME-TV reports a woman was shot and critically injured at the same Temple Street address where Labonte was taken into custody.
