Nichoel Wyman Arel described a large police and ambulance presence outside Sparetime Recreation following the deadly incident. Arel said he saw police searching people as they left the bowling alley.

Arel was returning home with a friend when she came across the tragic scene. The woman captured images of people being searched and leaving the bowling alley.

She saw a person who appeared to have “blood everywhere” but didn’t know if she herself was injured. “It’s all a bit confusing. I wasn’t paying attention to many details,” Arel said.

She also said she saw children there with their families.

“Yes, there were children. Looking back, like that was probably the hardest part, seeing, just families, families leaving there and knowing that this happened there while they were probably just trying to have a family night,” Arel told CNN .

Arel’s youngest daughter was with her when she witnessed the aftermath of the shooting.

“She was definitely scared. She said – she started crying and said, ‘This is a scary world we live in, Mom.’ I’m like, ‘I know.'”

When he got home, Arel said he locked the house, including the windows. She owns a firearm, which she said made her daughter “feel better knowing I carried it.”

She said her daughter “was scared that someone was going to come into our house.”

Lewiston residents are being told to continue sheltering in place.
