A manhunt is underway for a gunman who opened fire last night at a bar and a bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine, killing at least 15 people and injuring 50, police said. Photos released by law enforcement showed a man in a hooded sweatshirt holding a long black rifle in what appeared to be the entrance to the bowling alley. A "person of interest" identified as Robert R. Card, 40, of Bowdoin, was being sought, and schools and municipal buildings in the community of around 40,000 residents were closed today.
