LEWISTON, Maine — Maine State Police ordered residents in the state’s second-largest city to shelter in place Wednesday night because of an active-shooter situation in multiple locations.

The alert for Lewiston was made shortly after 8 p.m. as the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office reported that law enforcement agencies were investigating “two active shooter events.” The sheriff’s office said the suspect was still at large. A spokesperson for the Maine Department of Public Safety urged residents to stay in their homes with their doors locked.

The Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office released two photos of the suspect on its Facebook page that showed a gunman walking into an establishment with a weapon raised to his shoulder.
