as posted by the channel

Police in the US city of Lewiston in Maine on Wednesday launched a manhunt for a suspect who opened fire on a bar and a bowling alley.

Police refused to say how many people were killed and injured, although media reports suggest the number ranges from 16 to 22 dead, with dozens more injured.

Maine State Police said officers were searching for a 40-year-old man from Bowdoin and provided his name* and date of birth.

Police said that the suspect was "considered armed and dangerous" and warned members of the public against approaching him.

"We have literally hundreds of police officers working around the state of Maine to investigate this case," Maine Public Safety Commissioner Mike Sauschuck told a news conference.

Sauschuck said he was not prepared to give a death toll, calling it "a very fluid situation."

Earlier a warning was issued of an active shooter, and police urged members of the public to remain in their homes and keep their doors locked.
