At least 16 people are dead in multiple shootings in Lewiston, Maine Wednesday night, according to multiple law enforcement sources. Follow here for the latest.
They’re saying three locations so far, but I’m only seeing details for two: Schemengees Bar and Grille (restaurant) and Sparetime Recreation (bowling alley).
Scrolling through different news channels, the only update I’ve heard in the last 45 minutes is the count update from 16 to 22.
They’ve released an images of the shooter and of his vehicle, a Subaru Outback (kinda silver/white).
Lewiston public information officer Derrick St. Laurent told the Sun Journal at about 8:15 p.m. that another shooting had been reported at the Walmart Distribution Center on Alfred A Plourde Parkway.
I work in a 911 dispatch center, we had a shooting at a bowling alley a few years ago, it was probably one of the craziest, most stressful incidents we’ve had since I’ve been working there. So that hits a little close to home for me.
The incident we had wasn’t a mass shooting, just some assholes who shouldn’t have had guns got into a fight and started blasting.
It was right after shift change, we had pretty much all just sat down and logged in, usually at that time of day there’s not too much really going on, and then suddenly everyone in the room’s phone went off at once and everything became chaos for the next hour or so.
The shooting was over by the time we got the first call, the shooter was probably even long-gone, out the door in a car speeding away.
My first caller was just hysterically screaming, I couldn’t really get any useful information from them, but from what I could hear in the background it sounded like they were close to the victims, maybe even had been part of their group.
We had about 3 or 4 wildly different descriptions of the suspect. Was it one person or was it three? We’re they old or young? Black or white? We’re they wearing trench coats, hoodies, military style jackets?
We had a caller who had grabbed some kids and pulled them into a utility closet to hide.
We had calls coming in for the rest of the night and even the next day from people who were there and fled as soon as it started.
There’s always confusion with these things. Where? How many shooters? How many dead? It’ll take a while for completely accurate info to come out. There will be a news conference tomorrow, I’m sure.

And that’s one of my biggest frustrations with the people who immediately demand full information, and insist there must be some conspiracy going on when they don’t get it, or when the complete information eventually comes out that isn’t an exact match for the initial reports.
People need to chill the fuck out when these things are still developing.

Just absolute chaos.
Third location is allegedly a Walmart distribution center

Dude looks like Jake Gyllenhall, or is it just me?
