A gunman armed with an AR 15-style rifle in Lewiston, Maine shot dead at least 22 people and injured up to 60 more across three separate locations, sparking a massive manhunt across the state. The locations are Sparetime bowling alley; Schemengee's bar and grill; and a Walmart distribution center. Police sources told Fox News that 22 were dead while other sources told CNN that 50-60 were injured. The toll is not confirmed, but Maine's hospitals said they were declaring a mass casualty event. The Androscoggin County Sheriff's Office has released two images of the man they believe is responsible for the shooting with the message: “Law enforcement in Androscoggin County are investigating two active shooter events. We are encouraging all businesses to lock down and or close while we investigate. The suspect is still at large.” The photo shows the man through a doorway, dressed in black pants and a brown top, while brandishing the AR 15 style rifle. According to reports the suspect was caught on CCTV entering Sparetime bowling alley at 7:15pm. Maine Police who are also helping the the manhunt released a statement saying: “There is an active shooter situation in the city of Lewiston,' said Maine state police. Law enforcement is asking people to shelter in place. Please stay inside your home with the doors locked.” Police said the first two locations where the shootings took place were Schemengee's bar and grill, and Sparetime recreation center. The two sites are around four miles apart, in Maine's second-largest city. Police were then called to a third location, a Walmart distribution center, said Derrick St. Laurent, a Lewiston spokesman. *BACKGRID DOES NOT CLAIM ANY COPYRIGHT OR LICENSE IN THE ATTACHED MATERIAL.
