Officers in Maine are hunting a man who is suspected of shooting dead at least 15 people - with officials suggesting the gunman was a member of the US Army Reserve who is suffering from mental health issues.
A man has described the moment he ran down the lane of a bowling alley and 'climbed up into the machine' to hide after a gunman entered the building and opened fire. The witness, who only gave his first name as Brandon, has spoken about the ordeal as police in the US state of Maine continue to hunt a man suspected of shooting dead between 15 and 20 people.
' He continued: 'I'm night bowling and out of nowhere he came in and there was a loud pop. I thought it was a balloon, I had my back turned to the door. 'As soon as I turned and saw that it was not a balloon, that he was holding a weapon, I just bucked it down the lane where I slid basically into where the pins are and climbed up into the machine. 'I was on top of the machine for about 10 minutes until the cops got there.
