my first thought when I read the headline
CCW holder?
Holy cow! If the shooter is some kind of immigrant, then I hope this is a wake up call to Blinken NOT to move anyone from Palestine to the USA.
Amen.
30 towns responded. Shuffling injured all over. Walmart involved.

Muslim Migrant Violence Comes to Maine

The migrant violence that is becoming a feature of daily life in Sweden, Germany, France and elsewhere in Europe is now coming to the United States. Did we think we would be immune?
Maine’s Sun Journal reported last week that a “melee” broke out near Kennedy Park in Lewiston, Maine, initiated by “at least two dozen teenagers, preteens and adults.” This mob was made up of Somali Muslim migrants: News Center Maine reports: “[A]ccording to family members, the fight was between white and Somali members of the Lewiston community.” Our immigration chickens are, as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright would say, home to roost.
The Sun Journal reported that the incident began when “gunfire from BB and pellet guns erupted from the open windows of a black car driving north on Bates Street.” Lewiston resident Nicholas Vinciguerra and friends “confronted the youths in the car and asked them why they had shot at them. Suddenly, the three men were surrounded by roughly 30 people swinging sticks, baseball bats, and other weapons, Vinciguerra said. ‘You could see they were swinging for the fences,’ he said.”
“They had bats and sticks and rocks and steel pipes,” said one eyewitness. “They had everything. They were just coming in by the dozens. There were maybe 30 of them and eight of us. It was just a brawl. A bloodbath.” One of the victims, a 38-year-old man named Donald Giusti, died of his injuries.
One Lewiston resident noted that there had been other incidents, but nothing had been done: “It’s like the police are scared. But they need to put a stop to it or there are going to be riots.”
Said Vinciguerra: “I just want my town to be the way it used to be, where you could go out your door and go for a walk at 9 o’clock at night and not have to worry.”
Sort of reminds of the Nova Scotia shooter who shot people all over the place. Not too far from Maine...
On April 18 and 19, 2020, 51-year-old Gabriel Wortman committed multiple shootings and set fires at 16 locations in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, killing 22 people and injuring three others before he was shot and killed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Enfield. For most of the thirteen-hour crime spree, Wortman was driving a replica RCMP cruiser and may have been wearing parts of an RCMP uniform.
There are not a lot of Somalis hanging out at the Bowling Alley in Lewiston.
Everyone needs relax with the hyperbole. There are a ton of domestic violence incidents in Lewiston/Auburn. It is not the part of Maine folks talk about a lot. It’s more likely to be a meth head or angry husband/boyfriend.
Ugh, well that sounds insane.
Nova Scotia is about six hours from Lewiston. Kind of the distance from Hartford to DC.
Currently, numerous emergency personnel and other authorities are responding to an active shooter in Lewiston, Maine. Reports indicate that at least 16 people, possibly more, have been shot and injured. It is unclear if there are any fatalities. The shooter has been firing at multiple locations, and an emergency alert has been issued, asking people to avoid the area and shelter in place as the suspect is still at large. This is a developing situation

New number is 30 have been shot, 2 shooters and 4 locations 😭
Could be Jewish. That would be news.
It’s almost never 2 shooters.
