Maine State Police ordered residents in the state's second-largest city to shelter in place Wednesday night as the suspect remains at large.
One bowler, who identified himself only as Brandon, said he heard about 10 shots, thinking the first was a balloon popping. The bowling alley is home to traditional tenpin bowling as well as candlepin, a variant of bowling found in New England. It’s located about 2 miles north of the Bates College campus, on the outskirts of downtown. The alley has a small bar and is popular for local bowling leagues and children’s parties.
The Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office released two photos of the suspect on its Facebook page that showed the shooter walking into an establishment with a weapon raised to his shoulder.
