Van Buren Man Was Shot to Death By a Homemade Security Device In His Home
VAN BUREN, Maine (AP) Police say a Maine man was shot to death by a homemade security device in his home.
Van Buren Police say 65-year-old Ronald Cyr dialed 911 to say he’d been shot.
WAGM-TV reports that police arrived Thursday evening to find his Van Buren home was
outfitted with a boobytrap designed to fire a handgun at any- one opening the front door. Officers called the state police bomb squad after dis- covering other “unknown devices.”
An investigation by state and local police determined that Cyr was fatal- ly injured by the unintentional dis-
charge of one of his homemade devices.
According to police, Cyr was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Further details weren’t immedi- ately available. Van Buren is on the Canadian bor- der, about 320 miles from Portland.
