Maine State Police Colonel William Ross gave the details of what happened, saying 7 were killed at one location at 8 killed at another. The first shooting happened at a bowling alley and the second at a restaurant. Three people taken to the hospital have since died, bringing the number to 18.
Only eight of the deceased have been identified and thus far Robert Card is being charged with eight counts of murder. That number will go up as more of the deceased are identified.
Below is a short interview with a victim from the bowling alley who managed to keep from getting shot:
