 Law enforcement has asked residents to shelter in place and stay inside with the doors locked. Schools in the area were also put on lockdown even as parent-teacher conferences were taking place Tuesday evening. 

“All, please get to a safe place if you are at or near a school for conferences we are going into lockdowns,” Lewiston Public Schools Superintendent Jake Langlais said. “I will provide more information as soon as it is available and appropriate. Right now, we need to let law enforcement do what they need to do.”
