At least 22 people were killed, and dozens more were injured in a series of mass shootings at several locations in Lewiston, Maine, on Wednesday (October 25). The Lewiston Police Department said they are investigating shootings at two locations, Schemengees Bar & Grille Restaurant and Sparetime Recreation.

According to Fox News, there were reports of a shooting at a Walmart store.

The Androscoggin County Sheriff's Office said the suspect remains at large and posted photos of him aiming a rifle at a bowling alley, asking the public for help identifying him.

The Lewiston Police Department also released a photo of a white 2013 Subaru Outback they are looking for in connection with the shooting. Officers were told not to approach the vehicle and form a perimeter around it. 

The police issued a BOLO (Be on the Lookout) alert for a 40-year-old man named Robert Card in connection with the shooting.
