-At least 22 people have been shot dead in a mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, and 50-60 people injured at three different locations
-Robert Card, a 40-year-old Army reservist and firearms instructor from Bowdoin, is named by police as 'a person of interest': his empty car has been found
-They have issued a photo of the suspect entering Sparetime bowling alley at 7:15pm; they were also called to a bar and a Walmart distribution center
A massive manhunt is underway in Maine for an Army reserve firearms instructor who was sectioned this summer for mental health reasons, and is suspected of shooting dead 22 people on Wednesday night at multiple sites in Lewiston.
Robert Card, 40, from Bowdoin, Maine, was named by Maine state police as the a 'person of interest' in the shootings at a bowling alley, restaurant and Walmart distribution center.
He was sectioned after saying he was hearing voices, and threatening to shoot up his National Guard base in Saco, Maine.
Card was armed with an AR 15-style rifle with laser optics when he burst into the bowling alley at 7:15pm to begin his rampage.
He was driving a 2013 white Subaru: Eric Samson, sheriff of Androscoggin County, announced at 11:20pm that law enforcement officers have found the vehicle in Lisbon, about seven miles southeast of Lewiston - but Card was not inside.
Mike Sauschuck, a law enforcement spokesperson in Lewiston, said Card 'is considered armed and dangerous.'

Real nuts shouldn’t own guns.
“He was sectioned after saying he was hearing voices, and threatening to shoot up his National Guard base in Saco, Maine.”
Well then, good thing we have gun laws to protect us
I guess I forgot to put the /s in.

You didn’t have to on my account, only a noob would not understand.
I never use the sophomoric “/s”. If anyone questions my conservative credentials, they can read up on my other 4,351 threads and 50,904 replies..
Nope. If I did have to pick which one is worse, I would definitely say Bush. That back stabbing piece of rat filth can go eff himself in the worst way. Notice he hasn’t said ONE bad word about Biden
Thanks. That phrase has been used a lot and most of us know when we see it that it’s pure sarcasm.
A few thoughts
Supposedly he lived in Bowdoinham, which is about half hour from Lewiston and down a country highway. If he was looking for a populated place to shoot up, Portland or Brunswick would have been easier to get to.
Both locations were just off the main streets, he would have had to know about them and have targeted them
Why did he abandon his car a few miles away? He could have used it for an escape, unless he stole or carjacked another car.
He’s been quiet since the end of last shooting. Either he had another vehicle waiting near the Subaru, or he walked into the woods. He may have killed himself by now.
I saw footage of a slaughter 2 weeks ago in Israel, where only police and military had guns.
Tragically ironic.
Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont usually have the lowest murder rates in the USA.
“I saw that too. I have watched films of the atrocities at Baba Yar among others. Unarmed men, women, boys, girls, and babies shot by. Give up your guns, give up your freedoms. Watch as your family is executed before your eyes.”
Lots of movies showing armed people getting shot and killed.
He will not be captured alive as the truth will be “classified..”
It’s a cycle. Take the medication, feel pretty good, stop taking it because you think you don’t need it anymore, end up right back at the hospital. Might happen quickly or over some time.
I think of it when one of these nutjobs commits an oh-so-conveniently timed mass murder.
“On their radar” of course.
“Only well-trained professionals need guns. History proves that civilians are much better off without them.”
The armed Jews involved in the Warsaw Uprising were slaughtered along with an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 civilians.
The article states it’s the 565th mass shooting in the US... Pure BS.
I thought her last film was ‘Myra Breckinridge’ ?
I see a pattern. Esteban Santiago-Ruiz, Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooter and Aaron Alexis, Navy Yard shooter and Card. All three are military and said they heard voices to kill people and authorities turned them loose on innocent civilians to kill
Must be an epidemic, so did mine, what was I thinking?
Curious what maines concealed carry laws are, and was the bowling alley a “gun free zone”
Just commented on another thread about laws and criminals, proof positive once again criminals don’t care about laws
Good guy with a gun……
