LIVERMORE FALLS — Police and the Maine Warden Service responded to a report of two gunshots and someone screaming for help Wednesday in the Souther Road area, police officer Daniel Chabot said.

The gunshots were from a small game hunter and the screams apparently from a nearby mobile home park, Edith A. Smith, spokesman for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife said.

Chabot said at about 11 a.m. a 911 caller reported hearing gunshots and then someone screaming “’help me.’”

Livermore Falls police Lt. Thomas Gould, Sgt. Steve Allen, Chabot and Warden Dave Chabot, assisted by a Maine Warden Service plane, searched the area, including a mobile home park, the wood line, fields on Souther Road and the Moose Hill Road area, Daniel Chabot said.

“We did come in contact with the hunter,” he said. The hunter, who had parked at one of the fields off Moose Hill Road, said he had shot twice but didn’t hear any screams.

“The yelling seemed to be coming from a nearby mobile home park, but there was nothing amiss,” Smith said.
