1. Lewiston police are investigating two separate shootings Tuesday. Several juveniles were detained after shots were fired near Knox and Maple streets Tuesday afternoon. Earlier that morning, police say gunfire was directed at an apartment on Pierce Street. No injuries have been reported in either incident. (WMTW)
2. Senator Susan Collins’ office is denying bribery allegations detailed in a new ProPublica investigation. The report says the FBI sought to investigate claims that Collins helped a major donor secure millions in federal defense contracts in exchange for campaign support. Collins’ office calls the allegations false, and the FBI says an earlier investigation found nothing implicating the senator or her campaign. (WMTW)
3. A foreclosure complaint against Westbrook’s Vertical Harvest has been dismissed after the indoor farm caught up on overdue interest payments. The lender filed the complaint last month over an $8.6 million financing agreement. Vertical Harvest says the farm remains open and continues delivering produce across Maine. (PH)
4. A nor’easter could bring rough seas, gusty winds and heavy rain to Maine this weekend. Coastal waves could reach 10 feet, with wind gusts up to 35 miles per hour and possible power outages. Rainfall will depend on the storm’s track, with the greatest chance for rain on Sunday. (WMTW)
5. Portland’s Planning Board has begun reviewing a zoning change that would allow the Hearts of Pine to build a 10,000-seat stadium at Cassidy Point. Supporters want to keep the team in Portland, while waterfront workers oppose converting industrial maritime land. More hearings are planned before the City Council makes the final decision. (PH)
