The gunman opened fire at a bowling alley and a bar and 'hundreds' of police are now trying to find him.
At least 20 people are feared to have been killed after a shooting in the US state of Maine, with the suspect - a firearms instructor - still at large. Authorities in Lewiston are investigating 'two active shooter events' and have warned people to stay inside with doors locked.
Off-duty staff, doctors and nurses have been asked to come in to work to deal with the number of casualties, said Kelner. Hospitals as far away as Portland, about 35 miles to the south, have been placed on alert to potentially receive victims. Maine's public health commissioner, Mike Sauschuck, confirmed multiple casualties but also said he didn't have a precise figure. He said 'hundreds' of police are looking for 'person of interest' Robert Card.
