A reported sighting of a man with a gun in Lewiston, Maine, prompted lockdowns at Bates College, local schools, and a hospital. Police responded after a caller described a white male in his mid-30s carrying a firearm. The lockdown was initiated as a precaution while officers searched the area. Family members indicated the man did not have a weapon. After a thorough search, police were unable to locate him or confirm any threat, leading to the lifting of the shelter-in-place order.
