At least 22 people were killed and 50 to 60 wounded in mass shootings at multiple locations including a bowling alley and a bar in Lewiston, Maine, NBC News reported, citing a Lewiston police source.
Lewiston city councilor Robert McCarthy said authorities"have confirmed 22 dead, many, many more injured."
The Androscoggin County Sheriff's Office also posted pictures of the suspect, a bearded man in a brown hoodie jacket and jeans holding a rifle in the firing position. The bowling alley is about 6.5km north of the bar, and the distribution centre is about a mile and 2.5km south of the bar. The president spoke by phone individually to Maine Governor Janet Mills, Senators Angus King and Susan Collins, and Congressman Jared Golden about the shooting in Lewiston and offered full federal support in the wake of the attack, the White House said.
