So, seems the victims are just regular folks having dinner and fun family times. So truly terrifying. We're really not safe anywhere anymore.

Wonder if it just went to refuel. Looks like it may be heading back toward Lisbon now. (Helicopter in upper part of screen capture is a life flight.)

Eyewitness on CNN is confirming “lots of little kids” and families at the bowling alley.

Oh, this hurts my heart reading this. IMO-I heard there were also parent teacher conferences in Lewiston tonight, so I had already thought that maybe they had kid's night while parents were at the conference.

Dumont said she saw three or four apparent victims.

When have we been safe? I'm afraid that the victims of mass shootings are often ordinary people doing ordinary things.

My poor home state I haven't lived there for a few years but I was born and raised there. Thankfully all my family in the area are okay and accounted for but I still have friends I haven't heard from.

I’m sorry. It’s so personal when it’s your home town or state. So upsetting.

It sucks. 22 innocent people whose lives are gone and whose loved ones’ lives are irrevocably damaged. And for what? Some inner rage? Some random vendetta?

These people think they’re some sort of avenging “angels” I guess. But they’re just cowards. Cowardly nothings who feel they need to kill in order to be something.

Well, they don’t get their wish. They end their lives as the nothings they were.

Not to mention the injured, many of whom who will suffer physical and mental trauma for the rest of their lives.

Just because they decided to go to the bowling alley on Wednesday.

It's insanity.

If this guy is active military with easy access to weapons as well as spending time in a mental health facility why weren't his weapons taken away? Isn't there some kind of protocol for someone in the military who is experiencing mental health challenges to remove weapons? This reminds me of the guy who flew from Alaska to Florida who shot and killed numerous people in the airport in 2017. He'd even turned himself in to the FBI after reporting auditory hallucinations from PTSD from an Iraq tour. Why do these people get ignored. It's crazy.

I guess it depends on what they reveal about their mental health issue? Or what’s known about it?

There was a time when ordinary people doing ordinary things were safe - for the most part. I'm sorry if you don't remember those times.

Sparetime seems to be a bowling alley. Many, many years ago I was on a Wednesday night bowling league and that's who I am guessing was at the bowling alley. Co-workers of his, I'm wondering? Workplace anger?

idk....just guessing.

I heard on the news it was " youth night" at the bowling alley.
