DIXMONT, Maine — A Dixmont man is facing multiple felony charges after authorities say he shot one person and assaulted two others with a bat during a violent incident Friday night.
Caleb Springer, 25, of Dixmont, has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated reckless conduct, and aggravated assault, according to the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities reported that one victim was shot while seated inside a vehicle. Two additional victims sustained injuries after being struck with a bat during the incident.
Springer was taken into custody and transported to the Penobscot County Jail. The Sheriff’s Office said additional charges are expected as the investigation continues.
Deputies are actively reviewing evidence and coordinating with the District Attorney’s Office to determine the full scope of the case.
