  • This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A Subaru associated with the suspect was found apparently abandoned Wednesday night near the river's Paper Mills Trail and Miller Park Boat Launch in Lisbon, authorities said previously.

    It is highly unusual for a winding manhunt to follow a mass shooting in the U.S., according to Joseph Giacalone, a retired New York Police Department sergeant and now an adjunct professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

    The shelter-in-place order for Lewiston and nearby communities was rescinded today amid the ongoing search for Wednesday night's mass shooting suspect, public safety director Mike Sauschuck said during an early-evening news conference.

    Dr. Richard King, a trauma doctor at Central Maine Medical Center, described the “shocking” injuries he’s been treating in response to the Lewiston shootings, calling the wounds from “high velocity rounds” just “devastating.”

    I’ve never seen the wartime injuries that many of my colleagues have done who served prior, but these, the destructive power of these bullets is just really quite shocking,” King, who is also a Marine Corps Reserve trauma surgeon, told Jose Diaz-Balart on MSNBC.

    The shooting will be an inflection point for a small city and state that are both frequently ranked among the safest in the country after a single night of bloodshed that resulted in roughly the annual number of homicides statewide.
