BOWDOIN, Maine —

A 34-year-old man is under arrest for murder after four bodies were discovered in a Bowdoin home.

Joseph Eaton, 34, of Bowdoin is in custody. Officials say he has been charged with the murder of all four victims.

Officials say the incident happened on Augusta Road.

According to investigators, the scene was reported prior to multiple vehicles being shot at on I-295 in Yarmouth. State police confirm both incidents are connected.

The bodies were discovered sometime Tuesday morning. A mobile crime lab later arrived at the home around 3 p.m., as a large police presence remains on scene in Bowdoin.

A neighbor told Maine's Total Coverage a husband and wife lived at the home where the incident took place. That person said the husband owns a concrete company and builds foundation.

Officials have not identified those who died.

Eaton has been taken to Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscassett. He will make an appearance in court later this week.

Anyone with information on either the shooting on the highway or at the incident in Bowdoin is asked to contact authorities at 207-624-7076.
