ME - Lewiston, Mass Shooting, Multiple Scenes - Oct 2023

I wonder if his family has communicated with him and that's how they know he's there.

eta By saying this I mean he responded to their pleas and they have been communicating with him. To me it sounds like they are trying to work with him rather than storming in. All jmo.

Former FBI Swat Team member on CNN: LE must treat this as if RC is in the house.

Bolded by me.

This sounds like it is not a for sure thing that he is in there.

"We realize this may be intimidating for you, but we need you to come out with your hands in the air"
Former FBI Hostage Rescue Team member commenting on possible cell phone tracking that led them here (which y'all had already suggested).
Eerie as heck to watch. Pitch black except for police lights/spot lights.

Special consultant saying they can use drones, robots, dogs, etc to go in and see if he's there and where he is. Being patient and trying to use call outs instead of storming in.

SIL said they were texting him.

Ita.
I thought earlier (upthread) that his family or his sister said they were in communication with him ?

Launching more drones.

Helicopter and 2 drones are going up, flying over.

I think they have been texting him but we have not heard if he's responded to that. This is such a sad and unnecessary situation.

Strange choice to return to that home.
I have my doubts he is there but we shall see.

If he's mentally ill that may be all he knows to do. JMO

Unpredictability is the element that makes the possibilities for this crisis so volatile. imo

It is odd given what he did. But I am reminded that in car chases here in Los Angeles, drivers often end up returning to their own neighborhoods. It's what they're familiar with and may feel comforting. If he was texting with his sister, maybe he agreed to go back home?

Also, if he intends to commit suicide (or has already done so), maybe he wanted to go home to do that?

JMO

ABC News says no new commands in the last 10 minutes or so.

No confirmation that he's in there, says their expert, but they must proceed as if he is. No heat signal doesn't mean he's not there, he may be sophisticated enough to mask it.

love from Nova Scotia and I hope this ends soon and as peacefully as possible

Would he really go back home? Does he live alone?

And weren't the cops all over his house executing a search warrant? How would he have even got past all of them to reenter his house? Confused ...

 

[Betty P]

Reporter on CNN says Dept of Public Safety spokesperson says they're not sure he is in the house, they are just doing "due diligence".

As they should.

I think I read that the house is on a lot of land with woods, so possibly hiding out until they were gone?
I'm still stunned that he may have gone back home after everything that has happened.

Bowling alley manager led 'countless' kids to safety in Maine massacre

Sparetime bowling alley manager Thomas Giberti led children to safety during the massacre before being shot in the legs.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Giberti's nephew, Will Bourgault, said on Facebook that his uncle was struck several times and his fighting for his life in the hospital.

'My Uncle was one of the victim’s working at Sparetime bowling ally in Lewiston, Maine. He was shot multiple times in his legs and is currently in surgery,' said Bourgault.

'For those of you who don’t know Tom, he’s a bright light in a dark room and it doesn’t surprise me he was selfless in the face of chaos and tragedy,' said Will Damon
Bbm.
Indeed.
What a hero.

Hoping he will fully recover !!

Graphic post :


A leg wound(s) can easily be fatal if it severs the femoral artery.
Or broken leg bones that can pierce a major artery/vein ?
Cannot imagine the pain he suffered when being shot.
Omo.

In that case, I hope they clear the house safely and soon.
