"It has an optic on it, some sort of scope," Sweetow said."He also has a flashlight on the front, some sort of tactical light. He also has some sort of magazines. They appear go be three-round magazines attached together. He's kitted out to kill people." "This is a very active and dynamic situation. The image of at least one active killer has been released by police. He is armed with a tactical rifle," Jim Cavanaugh, an NBC News law enforcement contributor and a former special agent in the ATF, said in a text message.
"This is a very fluid situation," Sauschuck said, declining to give a total number of people dead or injured."We are looking for this person of interest right now." "Out of an abundance of caution and due the dynamic nature of this situation, MMC and other MaineHealth hospitals have closed their campuses to non-hospital personnel and non-patients until further notice," the hospital said in a statement.
Mayor Jason Levesque, the mayor of nearby Auburn, urged people in his city, Lewiston and the surrounding region to shelter in place. “We are encouraging all businesses to lock down and or close while we investigate,” the sheriff's office reported.
