Maine police report seven killed at bowling alley, eight at restaurant in mass shooting
A manhunt is currently underway to catch the “armed and dangerous” suspect wanted in connection to two mass shootings in Lewiston, Maine, that left 18 people dead and 13 injured.
A gunman opened fire in the Sparetime Recreation bowling alley and then the Schemengees Bar & Grille Restaurant at around 7pm on Wednesday night.
Terrifying surveillance footage grabs, shared on Facebook by the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office, showed the shooter armed with a rifle.
An intensive manhunt is now underway for 40-year-old Robert Card, who has been identified as the suspect in Wednesday night’s incident, now an active homicide investigation.
Mr Card is a member of the US Army Reserves and a certified firearms instructor, who officials said had recently made threats to carry out a shooting at a National Guard facility and had reported mental health issues, including hearing voices.
His whereabouts are currently unknown though his car – a 2013 white Subaru – has since been located in the town of Lisbon.
Residents in both Lewiston and Lisbon have been urged to shelter in place.
