Police settling into massive manhunt, evidence gathering operations with Mainers still under lockdown

“LEWISTON, Maine — Thousands of Mainers were still under lockdown orders Friday as law enforcement entered their second full day searching for a 40-year-old man suspected of committing a pair of mass shootings here.”

“As people kept to their homes, investigators and search teams made clear early in the day that they were settling into an expansive evidence gathering and manhunt operation that included hundreds of law enforcement personnel from across the country.”

Wondering if things will get to a place where the many LE personnel will be used to supervise/keep grocery stores and gas stations open. Will they ask for volunteers to do shopping so the mom with small children or the little old lady on the other side of town is able to get what she needs?

Good news:

“…shelter-in-place order that had previously been in effect since Wednesday in the immediate search area was lifted Friday…”
