Live news. I'm seeing at least 22 dead via NBC. Here's a feed from ABC: https://abcnews.go.com/US/live-updates/lewiston-maine-mass-shooting/?id=104322983

Edit: There were reports of 3 locations and there is a shelter in place directive, but some places are only reporting two: Sparetime Recreation (bowling alley, first calls) and Schemengees Bar and Grille (restaurant, later calls). There is speculation that maybe a Wallmart distribution Center was the third? These locations are about 3 minutes from eachother.

CNN suggests they don't have the shooter's Subaru because police are asking for people to call in if they've seen it.
