Reported James Cummings Shot In His Home In Belfast

Maine State Police said Wednesday morning that James Cummings, 29, was shot and killed by his wife, Amber in their High Street home Tuesday. Department of Public Safety spokesman Steve McCausland said the couple's 9-year-old daughter was in the home when the shooting occurred.

An autopsy was under way Wednesday morning at the state Medical Examiner's office in Augusta to pinpoint the cause of death, McCausland said. He would not comment on the number of shots that were fired, though police said Tuesday they had recovered the weapon.

Amber Cummings, 31, was interviewed by police Tuesday and was released Tuesday night, McCausland said. "The case remains under investigation", he said.
