PARKMAN – State officials believe the shooting of a Parkman man last month was a defensive action that appears to have been justified.

William Glover, 33, was shot and killed last month by David Tweedie, 40, of Parkman when Glover reportedly approached Tweedie’s Route 150 home armed with two shotguns and demanded beer.

An autopsy showed Glover died of multiple gunshot wounds to his abdomen.

Police have had the matter under investigation since the June 19 shooting, but from the reports of that night, it appears Tweedie’s actions were justified, William Stokes, deputy attorney general, said Wednesday.

Stokes said the Maine Attorney General’s Office planned to discuss the case further with the primary detective to better understand what prompted the series of events that led to the shooting.

Still, he said, “we don’t contemplate filing any charges.” He said the defensive justification appears to have been satisfied.

Tweedie told police that Glover had approached his home in the late afternoon on June 19 and demanded beer. He said Glover, who was wearing camouflage clothing and reportedly was carrying a shotgun in his hand and one in a sling, walked out from the woods on a snowmobile trail located behind his home and approached his door demanding beer.

After Tweedie refused his demand for beer, Glover left the home and Tweedie called 911 to report his behavior. Tweedie did not know Glover, although they lived on the same route a distance apart.

About 10 minutes later, Glover returned to Tweedie’s door allegedly brandishing a shotgun on each hip, which were pointed in the direction of Tweedie and his daughter, according to police reports.

Fearful that either he or his daughter was going to be shot by the angry man, Tweedie shot and killed Glover.

Glover’s wife, Robyn Glover, 38, recalled that her husband was a kind, family man who was having trouble coping with life changes.

She said he had been despondent over health and work concerns, including the loss of his job as a long-haul trucker.
