Diego Lasarte relates the account of Alan Wang, a senior from China at Bates College, which has experienced a campus lockdown after a deadly shooting in Lewiston, Maine.
Two days ago, the worst mass shooting in Maine’s history—and the deadliest in the United States this year—occurred in Lewiston, when a gunman opened fire at a local bowling alley, and then a bar, killing eighteen people and injuring thirteen more. The shootings were just a couple of miles away from the Bates campus, and the school went into lockdown, along with the rest of Androscoggin County.
There is a main thoroughfare we have to cross to get to my residential hall, and—because it’s a wide-open road with very few trees and very little cover—when I was walking across the crosswalk, I just thought I was going to die, and I had to run to stay out of open areas. “Since then, I have not left my dorm at all. On Thursday, we got an e-mail from the school about food on campus.
