At least 22 dead and suspect at large in mass shootings in area of Lewiston, Maine ( www.cnn.com )

Live news. I’m seeing at least 22 dead via NBC. Here’s a feed from ABC: abcnews.go.com/…/lewiston-maine-mass-shooting/?id…

Edit: There were reports of 3 locations and there is a shelter in place directive, but some places are only reporting two: Sparetime Recreation (bowling alley, first calls) and Schemengees Bar and Grille (restaurant, later calls). There is speculation that maybe a Wallmart distribution Center was the third? These locations are about 3 minutes from eachother.

CNN suggests they don’t have the shooter’s Subaru because police are asking for people to call in if they’ve seen it.

memfree OP ,

no one has new news and the initial reports were way wrong?

initial reports weren’t all that far off (22 dead vs 18, 3 locations vs 2) but yes most of this is because there’s not that much to report other than sheer number of fatalities and the fatalism people have toward mass shootings in this country. there are only so many novel things you can say when we have a minimum of one or two double-digit death toll mass shootings a year.

number of dead has been revised to 18 with 13 injured, according to the Governor.

Woke up to this news, here in Maine, and they’ve closed down most of our school districts while the manhunt is under way. I’m locked and loaded at my house.
