Governor Janet Mills said the suspect, Robert Card, is considered armed and dangerous.
A man shot and killed the victims at a bowling alley and restaurant in Lewiston and then fled into the night, sparking a massive search by hundreds of officers while residents stayed locked in their homes on Thursday under a shelter-in-place advisory.“This city did not deserve this terrible assault on its citizens, on its peace of mind, on its sense of security,” she said.
It did not provide details about his treatment or condition but said Card had reported “hearing voices and threats to shoot up” the military base.Maine State Police spokesperson Shannon Moss said the bowling alley shooting happened first. Brandon said he scrambled down the length of the alley, sliding into the pin area and climbing up to hide in the machinery. He was among a busload of survivors who were driven to a school in the neighbouring city of Auburn to be reunited with family and friends.
Soon, the police flooded the road and a police officer eventually escorted everyone out of the building. The alert for Lewiston was made shortly after 8pm local time as the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office reported that law enforcement agencies were investigating “two active shooter events”.The sheriff’s office said the suspect was still at large.
