Oct. 26, 2023 (CNN) -- At least 22 people were killed in two mass shootings at a restaurant and a bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine, Wednesday night, one of the city's councilors told CNN.

Another 50 to 60 people were injured, according to multiple law enforcement sources.

An intensive manhunt is underway for a suspect, officials said, and police are asking residents to shelter in place as the situation is ongoing. Lewiston is the state's second-largest city and is about 36 miles north of Portland.

Police identified Robert Card, 40, as a person of interest, adding he should be “considered armed and dangerous."

The violence on Wednesday added to a list of 565 mass shootings reported across the United States this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
