LEWISTON, Maine—Carolyn Scott spent hours huddled in the basement of Christ Temple Church of God in Christ in nearby Auburn, with her pastor and a dozen other bible study participants, after someone’s phone rang with the news: a gunman was on the loose.
It was shortly after 7 p.m.
They sought safety with each other until midnight, praying for peace until they finally felt safe enough to try to quickly get out.
She hasn’t left her home since, heeding a shelter-in-place order that is closing schools and businesses for a second consecutive day.
