“I hate to be so grim, but a lot of these numbers that you’re hearing about injured, I anticipate based upon other stories like this that you and I have covered over the years, that that number of fatalities will probably grow,” Morgan told Banfield. “We hope that it won’t, but with these types of injuries that you can sustain like this, you’re going to have devastating internal injuries.”
Central Maine Medical Center said staff were “reacting to a mass casualty, mass shooter event” and were coordinating with hospitals in the region to help patients.
“What they’re doing at the scene right now, they’re having to triage all of these individuals that are injured,” Morgan said, later adding: “Time is of the essence. You’re going to have a lot of mass hemorrhage that’s going on with these cases. Surgeons will be working through the night. That’s why they’re trying to get these victims down to Boston and they’ve got multiple hospitals.”

Can't believe I'm only hearing about this story from Websleuths and not mainstream news!
Hopefully this guy gets caught soon.

Currently out of the country visiting family and my cousin was just expressing to me the other day how she wants to visit America but is scared because of the mass shootings. I was just telling her how one hasn’t happened in awhile and she was shocked by how casual I was about it. All too common now and it’s terrifying he’s not in custody yet. Hope they find him soon. This seemed very planned.

Yes, we should be braced for the death toll to rise, but it does seem like some of the injuries are from stampeding, which gives me hope that the injuries are survivable (broken bones, perhaps?).“I hate to be so grim, but a lot of these numbers that you’re hearing about injured, I anticipate based upon other stories like this that you and I have covered over the years, that that number of fatalities will probably grow,” Morgan told Banfield. “We hope that it won’t, but with these types of injuries that you can sustain like this, you’re going to have devastating internal injuries.”

2017 Las Vegas - Paddock killed 60 wounded 413. Killed himself.
I wonder if this one will be found with self inflicted shot. He drove from one location to the other. IOW time to think about what he had done but did more. If he’s hearing voices..Hopefully will be caught when he has to rest at some point.
MOO
It's quite possible. I'm sure we will find out exactly how and what happened concerning that in the next few days

An armed police officer guards the ambulance entrance to the Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, Maine, early on Oct. 26, 2023
In a statement on the school system's web page, Superintendent Jake Langlais said, in part, "There remains a lot of unknowns at this time. Information moves quickly but not always accurately. Please continue to shelter in place or get to safety."
Lewiston is the second-largest city in Maine, with a population of about 40,000 people, and is about 40 miles from Portland. Lewiston is a former mill town that has had economic challenges over the years. The city has a diverse population, with many immigrants from Somalia, as well as a sizable population of French Canadians.
In 2022, there were a total of 29 homicides in all of Maine, with 15 of those domestic cases.
A law enforcement news briefing is expected at 10:30 a.m. ET at Lewiston City Hall.
Jake Langlais, superintendent of Lewiston Public Schools, said in a letter on the district’s website that school was canceled Thursday.
“Stay close to your loved ones. Embrace them,” the letter said. “Our prayers go out to those who lost someone tonight. Our prayers go out to all those working to stop further loss of life

You’re almost always right but I think they’ll find him in the woods or perhaps the water, dead by his own hand. Have we ever seen someone who killed so many people so indisciminantly go dormant only to appear many hours or days later to kill again? The closest I can recall is Andrew Cunanan, the guy who in 2010(?) killed 5 people across several states over several months ending w/Versace in Miami. But his victims were targeted in advance or killed to facilitate his escape.
If he’s not dead and continues his spree, I suspect it’ll happen many miles away at some pre-determined location that holds meaning to him.

Around 7 p.m. A shooting at a bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine, on Wednesday evening led to “multiple casualties,” according to the authorities. That was followed by reports of a shooting at Schemengees Bar &the Grille, a 12-minute drive away.
Around 8 p.m. The authorities released photos of an armed suspect and urged people to stay inside with their doors locked.
8:30 p.m. Officials in Auburn, the neighboring city, urged residents to shelter in place, lock all doors and report suspicious people.
Just before 9 p.m. The Lewiston police identified Schemengees Bar & Grille as a second shooting location.
Around 9:15 p.m. The Lewiston police released photos of the vehicle they were searching for, a small white car whose front bumper may be painted black.
Around 11 p.m. The police department in Lewiston named Robert R. Card of Bowdoin, Maine, as a person of interest in the shootings, saying that he “should be considered armed and dangerous.”
Around 11:30 p.m. Mr. Sauschuck said that a vehicle of interest had been found in Lisbon, about eight miles from Lewiston. The person of interest remained at large.
After 6 a.m.: Maine’s State Police said it was expanding its shelter-in-place advisory for Lewiston, the state’s second-largest city after Portland, to include the nearby town of Bowdoin.

The shooting was the country's 36th mass killing this year, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University. At least 188 people have died in those killings, which are defined as incidents in which four or more people have died within a 24-hour period, not including the killer — the same definition used by the FBI

I'm surprised he hasn't been caught yet. I thought for sure I'd wake up to the news that he was arrested or dead in a shootout. Hopefully he is found today.
Rest in peace to all of the victims and all of those affected by this tragedy.

He’s a coward.
He threatened to shoot up a military installation and then didn’t. When he chose his targets he decided to unleash this hell on defenceless men, women and children just going about their day.
Had he gone to his first option he’d be dead by now. Defenceless civilians, especially children, are not likely to be firing back.
Disgusting.
