MAINE — Police in the city of Waterville were responding to an active shooting incident Tuesday evening. It was not immediately clear if anyone was injured.

The Waterville police department posted the following information on their Facebook page:

We are dealing with an incident in the area of College Avenue and Highwood Street involving a subject actively discharging a firearm. We have the area contained, but are asking people to avoid the area. We have Waterville, Oakland, Fairfield, Maine State Police and others working to bring this incident to a successful resolution.

There will be a media staging area at the Waterville Police Department and we would ask that media seeking footage of the event not attempt to pass the outer perimeter roadblock at College Avenue and Hazelwood Street.
