Witnesses recounted horror when a male suspect visited two locations in Lewiston, Maine, where he reportedly shot dozens of people. Authorities have named a person of interest.
Several survivors of a mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, Wednesday night described the horror they witnessed when a male suspect reportedly shot dozens of victims at two different locations, leaving at least 22 dead. The Lewiston Police Department said dozens of others were also wounded in the mass shootings, which were carried out at Schemengees Bar and a bowling alley, which the police identified as Sparetime Recreation and which is identified in signage as Just-In-Time Recreation.
Brandon ran the length of the alley and slid into the pin area. He then hid in the machinery. He was among a busload of survivors who were driven to a middle school in the neighboring city of Auburn to be reunited with family and friends. 'I was putting on my bowling shoes when it started. I’ve been barefoot for five hours,' he recounted. Another witness, who was not identified, said he knew someone who was among the deceased.
The bowling alley was reportedly hosting a youth night, but police have not said if Card was aware of the event or what connection, if any, he may have had to the facility or those inside. 'My heart is crushed,' Schemengees Bar & Grill wrote on Facebook. 'I am at a loss for words. In a split second your world gets turn upside down for no good reason. We loss great people in this community. How can we make any sense of this. Sending out prayers to everyone.
