Central Maine Medical Center Under Lockdown
According to WMTW, Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston is currently under a lockdown.
The lockdown is in place due to a threat.
The threat came in via phone at 9:15 AM. The facility went into lockdown at 9:30 AM
While it was vague, the call seemed to indicate the threat of self-violence or violence against those at the hospital. Out of an abundance of caution, CMMC security staff chose to lock the facility down.
According to a Lewiston Police Department spokesperson, they have several officers on the scene.
No visitors are being allowed inside and officers are helping to screen patients at the emergency room.
