Police: Edinburg Man Shot by State Trooper


3

Edinburg - An Edinburg man was shot by a state trooper Tuesday night.

Police were called to 54-year-old Warren Dome's house around 5:30pm because he was reportedly threatening to kill himself and others.

When troopers arrived, they say Dome had a knife and threatened them.

Major Gary Wright with the Maine State Police says Trooper Chris Hashey shot Dome.

Police won't say how many shots were fired, but TV 5 was told Dome had a gunshot wound to the thigh and the scrotum.

Dome was taken by helicopter to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor.

We're told Dome was alone at his house when he began making threats.

" The individual was making both suicidal and homicidal threats, as a result, several officers responded, which is typical in those situations," said Wright.

As of 11:30 Tuesday night, Dome was in serious condition.

The Attorney General's Office is investigating the use of deadly force, which is standard procedure.

Trooper Hashey is on administrative leave during the investigation.

Warren Dome was calling out for help... and this is how you treat him??? ...and America can't seem to figure out why more veterans won't ask for help until it's too late!!! Look at the photos of this man, his home and his mailbox. I mean look at all those hookers swingin from the rafters, the beer bottles and trash strewn about the yard of overgrown weeds, the oil spots and junk cars, his long greasy hair, beard, pot-belly, tattoos, gawdy piercings, the peace sign, pot leaf and rainbow stickers on his mailbox, the obnoxious color and condition of paint on his house, the tipped over Harleys, old kegs... darn! What's wrong with this guy??? The pictures speak a thousand words and in absolutely no way, shape or form match the monster your press makes him out to be. America was fresh out of Vietnam where it was no secret Medics had a short life expectancy, yet Warren Dome voluntarily joined the service, where I believe he spent 8 years as a Navy medic assigned to a Marine detachment. He has been married twice to wonderful women and fathered 3 well bred children. He worked for and retired from the railroad. Again, look at the photos... this man has been a veteran, husband, father, railroad employee, he is one of the most upstanding, decent, clean cut, well bred Americans I know... as American as apple pie... and this is how he's treated... shot by some punk rookie cop while ALONE in his OWN garage, on his OWN property... because he had a knife! What threat did he pose... maybe he was gonna pop his own car tires???
