Maine woman screams 'Don't think I will?' at boyfriend in fatal shooting on newly emerged video: report
A Maine woman accused of gunning down her boyfriend in a frantic 4:30 a.m. prank gone wrong last month can be heard screaming in the horrific aftermath on a doorbell camera through an open window, according to a new report.
Olivia Babin, 20, faces a charge of negligent manslaughter in the death of Daniel Ford-Coates, 24, whom authorities say died of a point-blank gunshot wound to the forehead in Bangor on April 2.
“Oh, don’t think I will?” Babin is accused of saying before pulling the trigger.
Newly unveiled Nest doorbell video obtained by the New York Post allegedly contains audio of the suspected killer repeatedly screaming at the mortally wounded victim, “You’re not dead!”

“Oh, f—,” a witness can reportedly be heard saying, as Babin allegedly asked what to do.
Babin allegedly ditched the gun in a river, changed her clothes and then called 911. Prosecutors in court last month accused her of giving responding officers a false version of events – which witnesses and the video have contradicted.
A friend of the couple told police that Babin took her boyfriend’s gun and removed the magazine, according to local media.

She allegedly wanted to “scare” women in the downstairs apartment during the 4 a.m. incident, the Bangor Daily News reported, citing prosecutors.
But there was a round in the chamber, and Babin allegedly jokingly held the barrel to her boyfriend’s forehead and pulled the trigger.
The autopsy found contact burns on his skin, according to the paper. His death was ruled a homicide.
The group had allegedly been using drugs and alcohol before the slaying.
The suspect is being held on $100,000 bail at the Penobscot County Jail.
She’s due back in court on June 10.

Maine high school students accidentally served dirt at charity dinner
Teenagers are known for dishing out the dirt, but not quite like this.
Students at a high school in Maine were fed potting soil at a community service event raising money to fight hunger, in a bizarre incident the school called “an unfortunate accident.”
Students at Medomack Valley High School in Waldoboro had baked a batch of potting soil earlier that day during a science class experiment to determine the effect of sterilized soil on plant growth, according to a statement from the school.
“The soil had been placed in a baking dish covered with foil and set off to the side of the stove area, separate from the Empty Bowl Supper food items,” the statement signed by principal Linda Pease read.
Later, in the mad dash to serve guests at the charity dinner, the oven-roasted dirt got mixed in with other food items meant for the meal and was brought out for service.
“Three students briefly put some of the soil in their mouths, believing it to be a dessert item, before immediately realizing what it was,” the school said, adding they “promptly” had the unwanted earthen confection removed from the serving tables.
“This was a completely accidental situation and absolutely not a prank,” the school assured.
The parents of the involved students were contacted by administrators, and the students were spoken with at school.
“Those involved in organizing the Empty Bowl Supper, a longstanding community service event that means a great deal to our school and community, are deeply sorry that this occurred.”
