In addition to fox news at night that encompasses all Breaking News we are live in jerusalem covering the ongoing war in israel and we will continue to do so. Right now there is significant Breaking News in the United States. There has been a Mass Shooting in lewiston, maine. That is 36 miles north of portland. We are told that at least one maybe two active shooters have targeted three separate locations in lewiston including a Walmart Distribution Center, a local bar and a third location that has not yet been identified. We are told, remember, this is the early going. These numbers may change. A lot of numbers when you are talking about shootings. They change. You can see at the bottom of the screen we are told that at least 22 people have been shot and killed. There are dozens more reportedly injured. The number we are hearing right now is 30 and its possible that one suspect might be in custody. We dont know that because they are putting out pictures now of a potential suspect. Someone carrying a gun. We also have not identified the third location. We can tell you that lewiston, 36 miles away from portland, as we said, is very much a bluecollar town. Home to bates college, roughly 1800 or 1900 students. But lewiston is really very much a bluecollar town. I want to bring in bill melugin who is live with the very latest on this. Bill, tell me what you are hearing about the details of the shooter. Reporter trace, i can tell you we are listening in on the Police Scanners. Right now what it appears they are doing is looking for a white vehicle that they have put photos out of. I dont know if we have those photos in just yet. Once we knew we can splash them on the screen. The Lewiston Police department a short time ago on facebook put out photos of what appears to be a white subaru outback. They asked the public if anybody knows anything about this vehicle, please call or email and reach out to us. Potentially because it may belong to this man here. This is the gunman that the Sheriffs Department put surveillance photos out of earlier this evening. He is walking in with some type of a rifle. Walking into what appears to be a Bowling Alley in some of the other photos you can see Bowling Balls and pins on the door. Apparently some halloween decorations. Some of the Cotton Spiderweb on the door. When the Sheriffs Department put these images out they were responding to, quote, two active Shooter Events. We dont know if that meant two shooters or two locations. We have since confirmed from Law Enforcement shooters there were shootings at multiple locations as you mentioned a bar, a Walmart Distribution Center and an unknown third location. I am being told we have photos of the car. This is what the Lewiston Police department put out a short time ago. This is a vehicle of interest that we have been listening in on the scanners. They have been looking for this vehicle and asking for the public to contact them if they have any information on it whatsoever. Pointing out that the front bumper of this vehicle may be painted black. We know that the Central Maine Medical Center, one of the hospitals in town, posted that they are, quote, responding to a mass casualty, mass Shooter Event. I am just getting an update now that Central Maine Medical Center is no longer taking any more patients now. That would go to the cause of there being so many potential patient flaps. Law enforcement sources telling Jacqui Heinrich at least 22 people are dead and around 30 people are injured at least right now. The latest update we are getting, Central Maine Medical Center in maine Near Lewiston is not taking anymore patients. What we know now, there is a manhunt underway. The Sheriffs Department and the Police Department urging locals to lock their doors, shelter in place. We have no updates from Law Enforcement about anybody being in custody right now. There have been some scattered reports that potentially somebody is in custody. We have not heard that from Law Enforcement. Those are the folks we are waiting for the update on now. As long as they tell people to stay in place there is some potential threat going on in that town. We advise people to listen to Law Enforcement. The governor of maine advising locals to do the same. She has been briefed. Governor janet mills of maine is aware of the situation and has been briefed and is telling folks to listen to their local Law Enforcement. I think the headline right now, police have put out images of the vehicle they are looking for. We have no confirmation that anybody is in custody. They put these photos out about 30 to 45 minutes ago showing a lone gunman walking into what appeared a Bowling Alley armed with a rifle. We dont have confirmation that this car is tied to the gunman in that photo. However, i think its safe to say this is a vehicle of interest. They are looking for it and asking for the public to give any information. They posted this on the Police Facebook page. I was reading through the comments, the locals in lewiston are engaged in helping with police. Some people say they saw it down by a river earlier. They believe they saw it parked somewhere. You will have the locals working handinhand with Law Enforcement to get the tips in and help the officers find the vehicle and see if its potentially tied to the suspect. You can see these are obviously Surveillance Images we are getting from what appears to be inside a Bowling Alley. We dont know where this image is coming from, but police are going through security footage. Any photos they have to get this information out to the public as fast as possible. We can tell you the trend Maine State Police is taking the lead in this investigation. However Law Enforcement sources tell fox the fbi is unseen and is responding and is going to be assisting with this investigation. Trace, the atf will be responding as well once they get the hands on the gun. They will run an Emergency Trace on it. Back to you. Bill, standby. We are getting information from some of the locals. This picture you are looking up, keep it on the screen, bill is right. We said there was an on identified third location. Now we are being told, by the way, from walmart, that this did not happen. We said first because the reports from police came in that it happened. The first scene was a Walmart Distribution Center. Now walmart is saying there was no shooting that happened on their property. We are unclear if that is an indication the shooting might have happened close to the property, near the property. Walmart is saying it did not happen on the property. The initial report was the shooter reportedly the man you are looking at here walked into some kind of Distribution Center, some kind of business and opened fire. Then went to the second location which as bill mentioned appears to be a Bowling Alley. The local News Stations in lewiston and portland are reporting the second location was in fact a Bowling Alley. And the third location was a bar or as they are specifying a pool hall. There are three separate locations. It is unclear where the majority of the victims are. Were they in the Bowling Alley . Were they in the pool hall . What happened at this apparent number one location. That is a big key. The other concern is were there more than one suspect . Police are now telling everybody to shelter in place. There were reports they had a suspect in custody. If that was the case and it was only one shooter the shelter in plays order would have been let down. It remains, which gives us an indication that they at least believe they are looking for Somebody Else or they are definitely looking for Somebody Else. I want to bring in former fbi special agent Nicole Parker. Shes a Fox News Contributor and former d. C. Homicide detective and bring in Homicide Detective ted williams, a lawyer and everything investigator. Thank you for coming on. Nicole, you first. We find these three different locations. You have a shooter go in with a highpowered rifle. We have 22 confirmed dead from police and as many as 30 wounded. Thats a lot of bullet shots in a short amount of time. Its absolutely tragic. This is a very complex crime scene for Law Enforcement. Your talking multiple crime scenes all at wants. Is one of the guests in the previous segment talked about, the Law Enforcement is highly trained for this. Its called alert training. Law enforcement officers are taught to go towards the gun fire. Whether you have a block or a pistol or handgun few go up against the rifle and you go in and save lives. I think it so important that the media, you are instrumental in helping to solve these cases for Law Enforcement. I cannot tell you how important it is for the media to report on this. If the subject is still on the loose, which we understand he maybe. Continue to show the picture. Someone in the Viewing Audience knows who this person is and needs to be out in the media. If you know who this individual is, you need to contact 911 immediately and provide any and all tips to Law Enforcement right now. If the subject or subjects are on the loose, the Law Enforcement needs the public and the community to continue to put out those pictures as much as possible. That is critical in finding who this individual was. If you would stand by nicole. Before i get to ted i want to play some sound. Here are some of the witnesses who were in and around those areas. Watch this. Thank god my son has technology where he has a smart phone. He has got the scanner and he is following it all. So i have had all my friends on the phone with me to make sure they are safe. I told them to lock your doors, lock your windows. You dont know what this person is capable of. I know its early, ted, but when you look at the early going and look at three different buildings, three different locations, what do you make of this . Does this sound like a spot to spot to spot targeted shooting or Something Else random . What is your take on this . Trace, we really dont know. I can tell you in each one of these scenes there will be physical evidence that Law Enforcement will have picked up like cartridges, bullet cartridges. They are trying to make a decision as to whether to have one or more shooter. In some cases we understand Law Enforcement are going to come to the cameras and give us more information. But as nicole said earlier, one of the things we want to do is to shelter in place. Anybody that has seen anything to contact Law Enforcement right away and provide that information to them. This is such a tragedy. When you look at the fact we are talking about from what we know 22 individuals who are dead and possibly up to 50 individuals that are injured. With what the good thing about it is they have a photo of the guy. They have a long rifle. Again, we dont know if he operated by himself or with others. But they are also looking for a vehicle. This is where the public can become engaged and can help. If they know of a white vehicle or a Station Wagon there with black bumpers on it, they should immediately call Law Enforcement to let them know about that suspected car. Thats good advice. I want to go back to you. We can see on the side of the screen one of the locals in lewiston, maine is waiting. Their waiting for a News Conference waiting to be held. In your assessment, is it early in your indication of a News Conference to be held . Ive covered dozens, maybe hundreds of shootings. The News Conferences are always a little bit later after some of the things have calmed down. Most notably after a suspect is in custody for they are held when a suspect is not in custody and they need help and they need help fast. What is your take . Thats right. It could be a number of reasons they are holding it. This is good. You want to have the Press Conference as quickly as possible. When there is an active Shooter Event and a tragedy such as this, there are all Hands On Deck. There are multiple Law Enforcement agencies locally and federally. Everyone has a different role and responsibility. You have individuals going towards the gunfire. They are trying to save lives. I always say you stop the killing first and then stop the dying. That is the first responsibility. That is going on in one scene. I have responded to multiple active shooters. You have people responding to the actual crime scene and then you have those that their responsibility is to set up a command post and create a communication center. Its important for the community to be involved as quickly as possible. Thats another responsibility of a group of individuals. What you will see next is the Press Conference. You and the Community Members can be informed so you know what you can do to help. And also to let you know to continue to shelter in place. Stay in a safe location and followup Law Enforcement tells you. The way that communication occurs is through this Press Conference. Until you hear anything, you shelter in place and stay where you are and stay calm. We will go back as soon as we find out more information about a News Conference and put that block down there that had an interesting reporter in there. Some interest on when this Press Conference and News Conference might happen. That will give us a great deal of information about what is going on. You can see the posture of the Police Officers. This was an all Hands On Deck scene. There is is an abundance of Police Officers that came from apparently towns all over, maybe as far as portland which is 36 miles away. We want to clarify something we said at the top. Walmart made a very specific plea saying this did not happen on our property. We were saying because the initial report said earlier that this was in fact happening on a Walmart Distribution Center. Then it went on to a pool hall and a Bowling Alley or Bowling Alley and pool hall. The number is not clear. When you are talking about three different venues and a number of people. 22 dead, we are hearing 30, 40 or 50 may have been wounded. Thats a lot of people. If it wasnt some type of Distribution Center to begin with it was at least a place where there were a lot of people. You are absolutely right, trace. It was certainly a place where there were multiple amount of people congregating. And certainly unfortunate, those people were a target under the circumstance. I dont know if it was a Distribution Center. We do know that there was a bar and we do know there was a third location. At each and every one of those locations are crime scenes. You have Law Enforcement officers that are processing those scenes as we speak. They are at all of the cameras that they can come across in that area, trace. To try to make a determination if they can find or see photos of that car or photos of the main suspect that we have seen with the long rifle. Thats very instrumental. They are probably going that photo up as best they can to see if they can get the Public Policy help so the public can get engaged in this horrific incident that has taken place. And to help Law Enforcement to bring this one individua
