Tell me something. How are you . What happened, did you get a call for something . You got a call . Weve had calls all night long. Is this is a great community. They call us anytime that they hear something which is great. Reaching out, calling us, anything suspicious, make sure everybody stays indoors. When you are driving around and whatnot, id stay up near the vehicles. If i see you, i will stop and talk to you. Reporter sure. What is the reaction from people in the neighborhood with this man being on the loose here . I cant go into that right now. I will say state police im sure will be doing a news briefing. I think i heard 10 30 in lewiston. So you can get more information at that time. Reporter how long have you been out here searching . Since the incident started in h lewiston, i called the entire department in and we closed down businesses as a precaution. Reporter and your name . Ryan mcgee. Reporter are you one of the supervises . Chief of police. Reporter wow. So for you as chief, this is something youve never experienced before i assume. Unfortunately i cant comment on everything right now. Reporter so tell me how many officers are involved in the search at this point . There is a lot of officers involved with the search. I dont want to give anything away. But my whole department is involved. And every department in this area. So every department ive seen departments across the entire state of maine have responded. So we want to locate the individual and make sure that the community is kept safe. Biggest thing i can say is make sure that if the community sees anything, stay inside, dont approach, call the police department. Like we just did here, someone heard something, they called. The right thing to do. Id rather it turn out to be a deer than this person. But we want to locate him. Reporter and where do you think he is and what area possibly he could be in . I cant comment on any of that fliright now. But the barricades you of give you a good indication. Reporter how many calls have you had, dozens . A lot. A lot. Yeah. A lot of calls. Reporter and have you do you know if the Person Of Interest, if he knows this area, is there any i cant comment on any of that right now. We have a lot of intel and were just working, you know, in conjunction with the state and federal partners. Everybody is involved just trying to keep the community safe. This is a very tragic incident that happened and were doing our job the best of the abilities to locate the suspect. Reporter how confident are you that you will get him . Ill say that we wont stop until we locate him. So you dont have to worry about that. Reporter okay, thank you, sir. And i recommend for your own safety just stay near the vehicles. It is the best thing that i can say for you. You dont have anything that says police on you. There are a lot of people in town. Last thing we need is somebody walking by a house and getting scared of one of you in their yard and calling us. I respect the job that you have to do. All the local news stations. They know me by first name and we have a great rapport. So if we are on scene, ill talk to you briefly, but we cant release anything. Reporter all right. Thank you so much. Im Shimon Prokupecz with cnn. Thank you, sir. And so phil and poppy, this is the story here all night that they are getting phone calls, people are Hearing Things and dialing 911. And the officers are responding. So it is a pretty tense situation out here. Certainly people on edge. Weve been here for about an hour, hour and a half now. And weve not seen many people outside. Were seeing cars, people driving cars like it would be any other morning. You see this woman here walking her dogs. The police just leaving. So perhaps she feels a level of safety knowing that the police were just here. But it is certainly progressively i think as the day goes, it will get more tense as daylight comes, more officers will be arriving and certainly we expect that the searching here will certainly escalate as the day goes on. Remarkable we havent had a lot of information coming out since the last Press Conference several hours ago and the next Press Conference scheduled for 10 30. And while he couldnt comment on much, we appreciate the chief taking the time to talk to you, but he did say that they had a lot of intelligence. Do you have any sense of what that meant . Reporter they know his history, maybe there is information that he knows this area. Obviously a lot that they are not telling us. Pretty a lot of people have questions because this is what happened, you know, 7 00 last night. Were now almost, what, 12 hours or so after this happened. And we still havent heard anything from Law Enforcement. We or we wont hear anything at least until 10 30. And so it is pretty concerning for people here that they are not hearing more information. They are gist being told to stay in their homes. And really the first time weve heard from any person in Law Enforcement to provide any kind of information. Honestly, phil, we just stumbled on this. What happened is when we first got here, we werent seeing a lot of police activities. So we just decided that well start driving around and seeing for ourselves what is going on because we kept hearing that there is this massive manhunt here and this is the first time that we stumbled upon that we came upon any searching. So that is why we stopped here and luckily we got the chief here and he was willing to talk to us a little bit. But you can tell that the Law Enforcement here certainly on edge. There are check points and other areas where there are Law Enforcement officials that are parked, there is a high school nearby where there are s. W. A. T. Team members hanging out waiting to deploy should they be needed. But really just seeing this activity just now, this is the first time that weve seen anything like that here. And this has been going on apparently all night. The neighbors here, folks who live here, are calling 911, Hearing Things, and police are responding. And then you see what they do, they start searching. So far clearly they have not had any luck. Great reporting. You didnt stumble on to that, i worked your way to that. Most information weve gotten in the last several hours. Well be coming back to you shortly. And if you are just joining us, lets get you caught up on the breaking news. Right now as you have been watching a mubanhunt is very mu under way in maine after Mass Shootings. At least 16 people are dead. And police are looking for a man named robert card described as Armed And Dangerous and Person Of Interest. Were told that he is a military trained Firearms Instructor, also a member of the army reserve who was also recently committed to a Mental Health facility. These are images of the gunman inside the Bowling Alley. And what were about to show you is video of people running out as Police Search the area. And were hearing survivors inside that Bowling Alley including a man who says that he was just 15 feet away from the gunman. Abc news spoke to a little girl and her mother who were there for a youth night. Sgle she. She was grazed by a bullet while we were running. Never thought that id grow up and get a bullet in my leg. And just like why . Hike why do people do there . Out of nowhere he came in and there was a loud pop. Thought it was balloon. Why do p . Out of nowhere he came in and there was a loud pop. Thought it was balloon. Saw it was a weapon and i just booked it down the lane and slid into where the pins are and climbed up on to the machine. And this morning investigators say a vehicle connected to robert card was connected near a trail head and boat launch. And this is video of a s. W. A. T. Team with an armored truck rushing to the area. And Hoopts Spitals are overwd because in addition to the 16 dead, were told 50 to 60 people were injured in the shootings. Officers with rifles have been guarding the hospital in lewiston all night. A City Counselor from a neighboring city says his son is the manager at the bar grille where the shooting happened and he has not heard from him since. If you had my gut right now, i feel like im squashed with a vice. My neck and back of my head feels like there is a vice squashing it the other way. And i dont know telling you the truth what kind of night this is going to be from now until tomorrow when i wake up to the true facts that my son is dead and i know that he is dead. I know it as well as i know im standing here telling you because he is not here and he is not at the hospital and he is not running the streets. He would have called us. He manages schemengees so i know he was there. An unthinkable reality so many families are dealing with. Omar jimenez is live on the ground nousfor us in lewiston. What more are we learning about the manhunt and investigation under way . Reporter the manhunt is very much a Fluid Situation right now as we just heard from Shimon Prokupecz. Law enforcement is out and about trying to figure out and hone in on where the person may be because the reality is for people in these communities, they are waking up unsure about the safety of going outside in this community. To give you an idea of where we are, we are nearby one of the Mass Shooting locations, the Bowling Alley is just a few miles from here. Were outside the bar grille where we just heard that they were looking for someone who was working there at the time. You can see it over my shoulder. Police have this entire block blocked off as they work through some of their investigators we see them on scene, but you see the sign of where this particular bar grille is. It has been relatively quiet along the stretch. Some are asking questions about whether they can go through and what is going on. But at the very least we know that good portion of this area has been renled to have to Shelter In Place while police try to hone in on where the person may be. When we first got to our hotel earlier this morning, the clerk wouldnt let us through the door unless we showed our i. D. Through the glass doors and then even still, he only looked at it while peeking out behind a wall and that is because that it is the middle of the night, hes been told to Shelter In Place, he wasnt sure who we were and whether we could have a potential firearm or could be dangerous. He had been following what had been going on of course in the news. This manhunt where we know over a dozen have been killed at least as we have been told. But also many more at the hospitals. They are trying to field all the influx of patients all the once. Schools have been canceled out of safety concerns. So if you dont have to be out, they dont want you to be out so Law Enforcement can do what they need to do. Reunification center is open it the middle school. Because as weve heard, it has been chaotic trying to locate some people who have been rushed to the hospital at the last minute. So i cant emphasize enough, Law Enforcement saying it is a Fluid Situation. And investigators are still going through the scene here and likely the same at the Bowling Alley. Because of course there is an investigation there on top of trying to get the top priority of getting this person under arrest. Omar yejimenez, thank you. Hundreds of Law Enforcement are searching for the Person Of Interest. Well have much more on the breaking News Coverage ahead. And also smoke billowing over Northern Gaza as israel launches more airstrikes. Well take you live to the ground in israel. Just overwhelmed. Been here trying to spread, you know, some kind of comfort, some kind of support. But this is an overwhelming situation. I dont think that weve ever had anything like this. My insides are just sick over this. There was a girl down there with five people all got shot up. And they brought in somebody in a vehicle that was shot. Right from the pickup. Took them right in the hospital. And Yoifoverwhelming Situati shaking the community. A widespread and urgent manhunt is under way in maine after a mass shooter opened fire at two locations in the town of lewiston. Evan perez is joining us from washington, d. C. A. What do we know about the federal, state and local effort . Reporter yeah, federal agents have flooded the zone there in maine. Fbi, atf, Homeland Security has sent personnel Up To Lewiston to try to assist in the search. And one of the things that weve heard already is the fbi has got dozens of people sent up from the field office in boston. What they are doing is assisting with some of the evidence collection. Obviously this is lewiston is a small town. It is not a very Large Police Department so they are assisting with the collection of the evidence at the two scenes, the Bowling Alley and also Schemengees Restaurant nearby. And what they are doing, not only assisting with evidence collection but also having people who do victims ass assistance. People reaching out to some of the victims to try to help them not only cope with what they witnessed but to also try to get some information that could be used as part of the investigation. One of the Big Questions is why this gunman, this Person Of Interest, robert card, why this person went into these two scenes and carried out the shootings. Again, at this point they are still trying to figure out where he is. Part of this is exploiting programs Phone Signals to see where he last was to try to again figure out what happened here before he went to these two scenes. Again, that is what according to the police they scene, they say the two scenes happened just before 7 00 p. M. Last night. Well hear more from authorities at 10 30 this morning, but already we know that the reason why they are looking for robert card is again he knows this area, this is a person who again a Person Of Interest in the two shootings. They say he is a firearms i ins instructor, an army reservist. So knows his way with guns and Police Believe he is Armed And Dangerous. One reason why they have the shelterinplace order for those communities. Thank you. And well get back to you. With us now is former u. S. Air force officer and also expert on active shooter incidents. From all we just heard, what strikes you including the fact that he didnt this Person Of Interest didnt conceal his identity at all . Good morning. Sorry to be talking about such a horrible situation. But you are absolutely correct. People that are in these type of situations who get to a point where they will pick up a firearm and just indisc indiscriminately heard people, they are not really prepared or concerned about concealing their identity. You think you try to get inside the mind of the people who do these horrible type of things. And they get to a point where they are just committed to what they believe is the thing that they need to do. They understand that there will be an end to the situation whether brought upon by Law Enforcement or by themselves. So not really a surprise that he is not interested in concealing his identity. Oftentimes they want people to know that they were the person who did it. So People Like Us try to figure out why. And how does the fact that he is a member of army reserve, how does It Add Complexity for Law Enforcement at this moment . Well, of course the situation is an is extraordinarily dangerous situation for Law Enforcement and the public at large. You have someone familiar with firearms and demonstrated skill in the application of take firearm. You observe somebody that has no restriction in their mind about hurting people. And we dont know is that person in a single location, is that person continuing to move. So that is why you heard the chief talking about intelligence and things like that, that is where we try to the Law Enforcement side try to use all that information to try to figure out where they are, how we can get the person into custody without any additional farm. But the fact that he has the background that makes the dangerous situation even that more dangerous. And the terrain also is complex. They found a car tied to him at the bottom of a trailhead and also near an area where boats can leave from. Yeah, you have wooded area, residential neighborhoods, things like that, so this is important as we talk to people about Situational Awareness and identifying those things that are outside of the norm. The situation makes me think back to the boston bomber where you found of course them in the boat. In a backyard. Yeah, all sorts of places like this. And if you are not familiar with your surroundings, this is an area where not necessarily everybody will normally lock their doors. Right . This is somewhere where you are not expecting to have that. And you heard s
