CBSN
Callers who dialed 911 after Maine's deadliest mass shooting described hiding behind trees, scrambling to find their glasses, searching for loved ones and fearing for their lives as shots rang out first at a bowling alley, then minutes later at a bar. Eighteen people were killed and another 13 were injured during the rampage on Oct. 25, when a gunman targeted both a bowling alley and a restaurant.
Transcripts of the 911 calls from the shooting released Monday show the chaotic aftermath of the massacre, with dispatchers providing encouragement to callers worried about the shooter's whereabouts. The calls capture tense moments, including one caller who described hiding under a pool table next to someone who was injured and bleeding.
The calls also include dispatchers telling survivors to wait for police to announce their arrival.
