READ MORE: Brave survivor of double killer could see 'evil' in the monster moments before he was stabbed Lewiston Police said in an earlier Facebook post that they were dealing with an active shooter incident at Schemengees Bar and Grille and Sparetime Recreation, a bowling alley. “Please stay off the roads to allow emergency responders access to the hospitals,” police said.
Melinda Small, the owner of Legends Sports Bar and Grill, said her staff immediately locked their doors and moved all 25 customers and employees away from the doors after a customer reported hearing about the shooting at the bowling alley less than a quarter-mile away. Soon, the police flooded the road and a police officer eventually escorted everyone out of the building.
The alert for Lewiston was made shortly after 8pm local time as the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office reported that law enforcement agencies were investigating “two active shooter events”. The sheriff’s office said the suspect was still at large. “We are encouraging all businesses to lock down and or close while we investigate,” the sheriff’s office reported.
The Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office released two photos of the suspect on its Facebook page that showed a gunman walking into an establishment with a weapon raised to his shoulder.
