I don’t have live tool access in this turn, so I can’t pull the very latest updates directly. Based on available reporting, Bates College in Lewiston, Maine experienced shelter-in-place and lockdown events related to gunman activity in the surrounding area in mid-October 2023, with the suspect later identified as Robert Card; the campus and local schools were affected for multiple days during the manhunt, and authorities warned the public to stay vigilant. A separate incident in April 2026 involved a reported armed person near campus prompting a shelter-in-place, which was later lifted as no explicit threat was confirmed, though investigations continued in the area.[1][3][4][5]
