BOWDOIN, Maine — A man confessed to killing four people, including his parents, and then firing on motorists on Interstate 295, just days after being released from prison, police said Wednesday. Law enforcement officials released more information including identities of the victims of the shootings at a home in Bowdoin and 25 miles to the south on the highway in Yarmouth, Maine.

Joseph Eaton, 34, had been released Friday from the Maine Correctional Center in Windham, where he was picked up by his mother after completing a sentence for aggravated assault, police said. That crime was serious enough to prevent him from possessing a gun in Maine. The shootings in Maine began in the small town of Bowdoin, where four people were killed Tuesday, with three bodies discovered in a home and one in a barn, police said. Then a chaotic scene developed in which shots were fired at vehicles on an interstate highway over 20 miles away in the community of Yarmouth, police said. Three people were shot there, and one remained in critical condition Wednesday.

Neglect to send incarcerated family commissary money at your own peril.

Has anyone read Revelations lately?

He's a felon & liberals love their felons & that's why he was released. And Lord help any LEO who treats him roughly.

They all had one thing in common they shouldn't have had a gun. 2 of them legally shouldn't have had a gun. Unless the gun was stolen hold gun owner responsible.

You can get a gun the day you get out of jail but...you can't vote. Interesting

Unreal!!!!
