Lewiston, maine, is the latest community to suffer devastating losses from Mass Shootings after a gunman killed at least 18 people and injured 13 others last night. Amna the suspect remains at large and hundreds of officers are looking for him in a major manhunt. The shootings are the worst mass killing in the country this year, and authorities have warned the death toll could climb. Laura barronlopez reports from lewiston. Laura nearly 24 hours after a man opened fire with an ar15style rifle at a Bowling Alley and restaurant in lewiston, maine, the sprawling manhunt is growing for the shooter. Police say 40yearold robert card is a person of interest and remains armed and dangerous. Investigators are still trying to piece together what happened and many questions remain. Several of the deceased have been identified and their familys next of kin has been notified. Approximately eight people at this point have been identified. 10 people, 10 of these victims, still need to be identified at this time. Laura maines governor janet mills said it was a dark day for her state. This city did not deserve this terrible assault on its citizens, on its peace of mind, on its sense of security. Laura just before 7 00 p. M. Last night that assault began inside the justintime bowling center, sending people scrambling for safety, including this man named brandon who says he first thought he heard balloons popping. I had my back turned to the door. As soon as i turned and saw that it was not a balloon, he was holding a weapon. I just booked it down the lane, and i slid basically into where the pins are and climbed up to the machine and was on top of the machines for about 10 minutes until the cops got there. Laura 10yearold Zoey Levesque was also there with her mother and was grazed by a bullet. Its shocking. It is something that you think never would happen. I never thought id grow up and get a bullet in my leg. Why . Why do people do this . Laura police say, not long after that, the gunman went to schemengees bar and grille and opened fire. As news broke last night, the restaurant posted on facebook, my heart is crushed. I am at a loss for words. In a split second, your world gets turn upside down for no good reason. Police released a photo of an suv parked in a nearby town that they called a vehicle of interest. Early this morning, authorities issued more shelterinplace advisories, not just for lewiston, but also in the nearby towns of lisbon and bowdoin. Several schools in the area were also closed due to the manhunt. And many residents like 21 yearold campbell mckendry, a senior at Bates College in lewiston, are still trying to make sense of what happened. How are you feeling right now as youre still sheltering in place with your roommates . I think people really havent processed whats going on. I mean, at the moment, 18 people are dead, which is just unfathomable in such a small and tightknit Community Like lewiston. And i know that the loss that happened last night will be felt here for years, if not decades to come. Laura mckendry lives only fives minutes from the Bowling Alley and says shed often go with friends to hang out and relax there. And its just so devastating and so upsetting that thats been taken away from the Bates Community and the Lewiston Community by the actions of one person. Our reality for today is that this suspect is still at large. Laura police said more than 350 state and federal Law Enforcement personnel are looking for robert card, who is said to be a firearms instructor and a member of the u. S. Army reserve. According to multiple reports, card was believed to have made threats to shoot up a nearby military base and had been committed to a Mental Health facility for two weeks this summer. Authorities would not confirm that this morning, focusing instead on the survivors and victims. We want to provide Community Support for the victims, the families in the communities across the state. But we also have an incredibly strong and laserlike focus on bringing this spect into custody and ultimately to justice. Laura but many here are frustrated that their not getting resources and answers fast enough. Theres no words to describe how you feel. Laura we also met a woman named sarah who has lived in lewiston for 32 years. Last night, shed been at the Bowling Alley with her daughter and says the thirdgrader saw two people get shot. I want counseling, but theres no services here right now. Were looking for services to get her counseling. Laura wednesdays death toll is especially staggering for a state that only had 29 homicides in all of 2022. People here are upset and angry about what they say is a lack of communication from local authorities about loved ones and how to get help. Amna laura, we heard officials saying they are still working to identify some of the victims in this latest mass shooting in america. You did speak with someone who lost family members. Tell us what they said. Laura thats right. I spoke to rob young, who is originally from maine. He was heading here from baltimore on a flight to be next to his sisterinlaws side and he found out that his brother, bill young, and his nephew, aaron young, 43 years old and 14 years old, were killed at the Bowling Alley that is just down the road behind me. And he said that this stuff just doesnt happen in maine, that his sisterinlaw was destroyed. That she was given false hope state authorities because for hours on end, she had been told that no kids had died and then found out later this afternoon that her son, 14yearold aaron, had died. We have not heard back from state authorities about that. Amna another heartbreaking story on the ground there. You spoke to so many people including the student we heard from, campbell mckendry, who said it was unfathomable Something Like this would happen in her community. What else did she tell you about what the experience has been like . Laura campbell had heard Police Sirens and helicopters for hours last night as she shelterinplace. This is something that has become all too familiar for her family. Her parents have been texting her nonstop, asking her if she was safe. This is something they also experienced earlier this year when their other daughter, who goes to Colby College that is just a few miles north of lewiston, was at a party where a shooting occurred. This is something that her family has experienced twice in just one year. Amna laura reporting from lewiston, maine, the latest American Community affected by a mass shooting. Laura, thank you.

Welcome to the newshour. You have said today that your fuel is almost exhausted. What does that mean and what is its impact . Tom i go beyond fuel. In terms of the whole operation, we are literally exhausted. We are rationing what reserves of fuel we have now in gaza. Essentially what we should be getting to hospitals, what we should be getting two bakeries to bake bread, we are rationing those supplies and then on the other hand, we have teams who are running displacement centers, for example, we cannot get them basic sanitation. We cannot provide enough shelter for people in these locations. So some really difficult choices. Which communities are going to go without essential humanitarian support. It will get to a point where people become very ill and some people are going to lose their lives because we cannot get the assistance that they need. Nick israel is blocking fuel from coming into gaza because it says hamas steals fuel and already holds large stockpiles. Have you seen any evidence that hamas stockpiles fuel . Tom i have not seen any evidence that hamas is stockpiling fuel. What i can say is i know what we are doing with the fuel that we have got, with the fuel reserves we can access from within gaza. We are making sure that is going to desalination plants, going to bakeries to produce bread. Nick more than 600,000 gazans are internally displaced and sheltering at 150 schools turn shelters. That is three times those schools intended capacity. Do you have what you need . Do you have the ability to keep those people safe . Tom we do not have the humanitarian supplies to look after those people in those shelters. Conditions in the shelters are getting very desperate. But our major concern is also that these people are sheltering under a u. N. Flag and cannot guarantee them protection. We have had over 40 of our installations with collateral damage. We have had five direct hits. It has cost the lives of 17 gazans sheltering under the wing flag and 281 people have been injured in our shelters because of fire.
