Authorities in Maine are investigating two active shooter events and a suspect remains at large, the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office said

Live news. I’m seeing at least 22 dead via NBC. Here’s a feed from ABC: https://abcnews.go.com/US/live-updates/lewiston-maine-mass-shooting/?id=104322983

Edit: There were reports of 3 locations and there is a shelter in place directive, but some places are only reporting two: Sparetime Recreation (bowling alley, first calls) and Schemengees Bar and Grille (restaurant, later calls). There is speculation that maybe a Wallmart distribution Center was the third? These locations are about 3 minutes from eachother.

CNN suggests they don’t have the shooter’s Subaru because police are asking for people to call in if they’ve seen it.

    no one has new news and the initial reports were way wrong?

      initial reports weren’t all that far off (22 dead vs 18, 3 locations vs 2) but yes most of this is because there’s not that much to report other than sheer number of fatalities and the fatalism people have toward mass shootings in this country. there are only so many novel things you can say when we have a minimum of one or two double-digit death toll mass shootings a year.
