U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was involved in a fatal shooting in Biddeford, Maine Monday, less than a week after an ICE agent shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, according to Maine Speaker of the House Ryan Fecteau.

Fecteau offered few details on what he said was a shootout on Facebook shortly before 7:20 a.m. CDT. He said state police and the Department of Public Safety were at the scene, and he expects the FBI to investigate.

 A person was killed,  he wrote.  ICE was involved. 


ICE did not immediately return a request for comment, and local police directed the Chronicle to the federal agency.

Biddeford is a coastal Maine city roughly 15 miles south of Portland. More than 21,000 people live there, according to the city's website.

This is a developing story.
