The shootings of Joseph L. Gray, 57, of Milo, and William Elliott, 24, of Corinth, led state police to take down the Maine Sex Offender Registry Web site as a precaution, state Department of Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland said. The site lists the photos, names and addresses of more than 2,200 sex offenders.

AUGUSTA, Maine - Two registered sex offenders were fatally shot in their central Maine homes Sunday morning, and a Canadian man sought in connection with the slayings shot himself that night after being cornered by Boston police, Maine authorities said.

Stephen A. Marshall, 19, described by Maine State Police as a "person of interest'' in the case, was in critical condition at Boston Medical Center, a spokesman said. Massachusetts state police referred questions about the incident to the Suffolk County District Attorney's office, which did not immediately disclose details about the shooting.

The shootings of Joseph L. Gray, 57, of Milo, and William Elliott, 24, of Corinth, led state police to take down the Maine Sex Offender Registry Web site as a precaution, state Department of Public Safety
spokesman Stephen McCausland said. The site lists the photos, names and addresses of more than 2,200 sex offenders.

The pickup truck Marshall was driving was spotted leaving one of the victims' homes after the shooting, Maine police said. They alerted authorities in Boston, about 250 miles south of Milo, after discovering
the vehicle abandoned and bullets linked to Marshall in the bathroom of a bus station, McCausland said.

It was not immediately clear if or how Marshall knew either Gray or Elliott, or if the three men had any connection with one another, McCausland said.

Marshall, who lived in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, had come to Houlton, Maine, for the first time to meet his father, McCausland said. He added that Marshall was driving his father's pickup.

i love a man who was suffering from a mental illness bi=polar disorder & never knew he had this & with the mixture of this and hard liquor he touched his step daughter who was a teenager he touched her breast & now he has to register as a sex & wishes he could've gotten help for this before this mess happened to him. now all who know him is hurt by this. so for me i don't believe all sex offenders are bad granted the ones who repeat & hurt & kill children can't be helped but some-one like the man i love the situation is so different.. so i just feel that some can be heped if they truly trust in god & really want to get help so they can stop....but this is just from where i'm at in this love i have for the man i love i'm not saying all can be saved just that maybe one out of 100 can....
