Good morning, Portland.

Officials said two women died from severe burns after a camper exploded at Powder Horn Campground in Old Orchard Beach on Saturday—an explosion that began when an occupant lit a candle to ignite a gas leak, with the victims later dying at Maine Medical Center.

ICE arrested Jon Luke Evans—an Old Orchard Beach reserve officer who had overstayed his visa—on Friday when he attempted to purchase a firearm for his job.

A 22-year-old South Portland man was arrested Sunday night for stabbing a 37-year-old man near 35 Wharf Street at about 11:30 pm—he faces charges of Elevated Aggravated Assault, Unlawful Possession of Cocaine, Trafficking in Prison Contraband and Falsifying Physical Evidence.

This weekend, Back Cove Festival will be held at Payson Park with Lord Huron, The Roots and Jack White performing.
