Hundreds of police officers have responded to a mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, after a suspect shot dozens of people at two different locations.
Audio from police scanners described a chaotic scene in Lewiston, Maine, where a male suspect carried out a mass shooting at the Schemengees Bar and Just-in-Time Bowling — which is better known by its former name Sparetime Recreation — miles apart, Wednesday evening leaving at least 22 people dead and 30 wounded. The Lewiston Police Department said Wednesday night the suspect remains at-large and has identified Robert Card, 40, of Bowdoin, Maine, as a person of interest.
The chaotic audio came as a male suspect opened fire at the bar and the bowling alley, prompting a massive manhunt. The two locations are located about four miles apart.

'My heart is crushed,' Schemengees Bar & Grill wrote on Facebook. 'I am at a loss for words. In a split second your world gets turn upside down for no good reason. We loss great people in this community.
