A nurse at Maine Medical Center told ABC News the shooting unfolded at a bowling alley during its youth night.
"Maine Medical is on lockdown right now awaiting Lewiston patients," the nurse said. "They just called for [emergency department] nurses and critical care nurses to come in, set up three stretchers to each single critical care bay. They just got their first two patients -- both gunshot wounds to their thighs."
Lewiston police have identified a person of interest as Robert Card, who's still at large.
