Buxton man jailed in shooting incident

BUXTON – A 52-year-old Buxton man is in custody after a shooting incident that drove a family of six from their home in Buxton.

Police say a man fired shots at the home on River Road shortly before 10 Tuesday night, prompting four adults and two children to flee through a window. The family hid in an adjacent shed until police arrived.

After a six-hour standoff, the Maine State Police Tactical Team entered the home and took Thomas Walsh into custody.

Police said Walsh, who was drunk, was transported to the York County Jail. He was charged with terrorizing and reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon.
