The Entire List of Maine Communities with Shelter-in-Place Orders
I cannot even imagine the heartbreak and devastation those in Lisbon, Maine are feeling right now.
In case you haven’t heard, a gunman open fired in a bowling alley last night killing at least 18 people and injuring dozens more. He is still at large.
Since he has yet to be arrested, authorities have issued a “shelter in place” order telling people to remain home and keep their doors locked.
Maine state police tweeted earlier this morning saying:
“We are expanding the shelter-in-place advisory and school closings to include the town of Bowdoin. Please stay inside your homes while more than 100 local and federal investigators work to locate Robert Card, a person of interest in the Lewiston shootings.”
