The emergency alert was sent at approximately 4:25 p.m. Friday, August 15, with the alert at an "extreme."

I live in Windham, and suddenly heard my phone buzzing upstairs while I was working down in the basement, and I had never heard my phone make this particular noise before.

I ran upstairs to find my phone, and there was the alert that a gunman was at large in North Windham and residents should shelter indoors, lock their doors, and report any suspicious behavior to 911.
