Outlaws leader died from multiple gunshot wounds, autopsy finds

Thomas Mayne, 58, a member of the Outlaws, had been indicted on charges of racketeering and attempted murder in the shooting of a Hells Angels member in Canaan last year.

When agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives surrounded Mayne's bungalow in Old Orchard Beach at 6 a.m. Tuesday, someone inside started shooting, authorities said.

Mayne was killed when agents returned fire. None of the three other people in the house was injured.
Afterward, investigators recovered a shotgun and a handgun inside, an ATF spokesman said. One of the agents discovered later that a bullet had damaged the ceramic plate covering his Kevlar vest, and could have caused serious injury had the agent not had body armor.

Mayne's accomplice in last year's shooting, according to the 50-page indictment, was Michael "Madman" Pedini, a fellow member of the Outlaws, who is in the Somerset County Jail on unrelated drug charges.
