Saco Police Chief Downgrades Link Between Bus and Truck Shooting
Saco Police Chief Alfred Cote doubts a salvage truck shooting is connected to earlier McDonald Hamburgers courtesy bus attacks. Technicians found the dent unlikely to be from a bullet. Driver Kenneth Charles on the bus was not seriously injured. A similar incident occurred on Cascade Road, breaking two windows but missing serious harm. Cote says shootings target the McDonald bus and expects no more strikes until the bus is back in service. He defends staying local and not asking for state police aid, saying officers have no solid leads.
