How pathetic is it that the United States of America has a list of the worst mass killings --Around 7 p.m. A shooting at a bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine, on Wednesday evening led to “multiple casualties,” according to the authorities. That was followed by reports of a shooting at Schemengees Bar &the Grille, a 12-minute drive away.
Around 8 p.m. The authorities released photos of an armed suspect and urged people to stay inside with their doors locked.
8:30 p.m. Officials in Auburn, the neighboring city, urged residents to shelter in place, lock all doors and report suspicious people.
Just before 9 p.m. The Lewiston police identified Schemengees Bar & Grille as a second shooting location.
Around 9:15 p.m. The Lewiston police released photos of the vehicle they were searching for, a small white car whose front bumper may be painted black.
Around 11 p.m. The police department in Lewiston named Robert R. Card of Bowdoin, Maine, as a person of interest in the shootings, saying that he “should be considered armed and dangerous.”
Around 11:30 p.m. Mr. Sauschuck said that a vehicle of interest had been found in Lisbon, about eight miles from Lewiston. The person of interest remained at large.
After 6 a.m.: Maine’s State Police said it was expanding its shelter-in-place advisory for Lewiston, the state’s second-largest city after Portland, to include the nearby town of Bowdoin.

2002 the DC snipers were killing ppl for 3 weeks before the arrests. Victims were mowing the lawn, pumping gas, shopping, walking across a parking lot. No regard for race, age, man, woman or child.

Ten-year-old Zoey Levesque, who was there with her mother, told WMTW-TV she was grazed by a bullet.
"It's scary," she said. "I had never thought I'd grow up and get a bullet in my leg. And it's just like, why? Why do people do this?"

Maine shooting survivor says he ran down bowling alley and hid behind pins to escape gunman: "I just booked it"
The man said he scrambled down the length of the alley, sliding into the pin area and climbing up to hide in the machinery.

Noting correct name of bowling alley as Just-In-Time Recreation
LEWISTON, Maine —
Gunfire erupted Wednesday inside of a Lewiston, Maine, bowling alley as a children’s bowling league was underway.
At least 20 people are dead and dozens of others are injured following a mass shooting across two locations Wednesday night, including at Just-In-Time Recreation, recently renamed from the Sparetime bowling alley.
Authorities say around 7 p.m., a man opened fire inside the bowling alley on Mollison Way, and later at Schemengees Bar & Grille on Lincoln Street.

Okay, this is above my pay grade so I'm not going to speculate on anything, but it looks like the number of dead went from 22 to 16, which is good. Any other updates on the victims overnight? <modsnip - not an approved source> There is zero accurate info out there right now.

Hmmm I was certain we’d read in the coming days that he’d be found deceased having gone the route many of these mass killers do after their crimes. This possibility is scary to say the least.

Seems like the question is how patient and driven is he? Will he sleep and then wake up to continue the rampage until stopped? He certainly doesn't plan to blend back into society, imo, so the plan seems to be either ending himself or keep shooting others.
How extensive is his plan?
I'm patiently awaiting news that he's been found and I'm resisting rumors that make the situation more muddled and disturbing.

I'm glad they went to encrypted channels because it was causing a lot of grief for them. Everyone was listening to their chatter and making speculations and I honestly think it jeopardized tracking him.

The bowling alley security video is amazingly clear. Glad they were able to access the image so quickly.

The worst bit about thar list is how bog standard, ordinary places they are. You should be able to do your shopping, go to school and grab a mcdonalds without being caught up in a mass shooting that makes it on this list.Around 7 p.m. A shooting at a bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine, on Wednesday evening led to “multiple casualties,” according to the authorities. That was followed by reports of a shooting at Schemengees Bar &the Grille, a 12-minute drive away.

The most depressing thing, after loss of life of course, is knowing that when he is finally found, nothing will be done. Nothing. Nada. Just shake out our hands so they are ready to wring at the next mass shooting.
