Maine releases video of fatal ATF-biker shootout

Published November 17, 2014

Newly released video shows a shootout in Maine last summer that ended with federal agents killing a member of the Outlaws motorcycle club.

Video released Wednesday by the Maine attorney general's office shows white smoke rising from the Old Orchard Beach home after agents arrived to arrest 58-year-old Thomas Mayne on June 15. Agents can be seen moving around outside the house and crouching behind cars.

Mayne was killed in the shootout with agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. He was one of 27 Outlaws members charged with crimes ranging from attempted murder to racketeering.

On Tuesday, the attorney general's office ruled that the shooting was justified.

Agents fired twenty rounds, hitting Mayne in the neck and head. The investigation found that Mayne fired six shots at the agents.
