Some people were reporting that there were multiple shooters and jumped to the conclusion that they were Middle Eastern. But this photo released by the police indicates otherwise.

From the sign over the door behind him, this appears to be Just-In-Time Recreation, a bowling alley just east of Highway 202 in Lewiston and right next to the DMV office. Just-In-Time is right next door to Sparetime Recreation.
