• Belgrade summer camp granted protection order after shots fired incident (centralmaine.com) — A Belgrade children's camp has obtained a one-year protection from harassment order against a neighboring resident after an August incident where at least 20 shots were allegedly fired near Camp Modin while about 400 campers and staff were present. The order bars the neighbor from camp property and contact with staff, while he faces multiple firearm-related criminal charges and a November court date in Augusta.
