A massive manhunt is underway in Maine for a suspect in a mass shooting that left 18 people dead and 13 injured at a bowling alley and a restaurant in Lewiston, the state’s second-largest city.

Some towns, public schools and colleges remained under lockdown hours after the Wednesday night shootings, including Bates and Bowdoin colleges. Residents of Lewiston and nearby towns were under a shelter-in-place advisory and urged to lock all doors and report suspicious activity.
