Investigators have been searching for Robert Card who is accused of killing 18 people and wounding 13 others in Lewiston, MaineHeavily armed police surrounded a home Thursday as they searched for a U.S. Army reservist who authorities say killed 18 people and wounded 13 in a mass shooting at a bowling alley and a bar in Lewiston, Maine.
Schools, doctor's offices and grocery stores closed and people stayed behind locked doors in cities as far away as 50 miles from the scenes of Wednesday night's shootings in Lewiston."His expertise with firearms is going to factor in. I don't think it will change much significantly as to how they will approach this manhunt. Any active shooter is presumed to be an expert in firearms and armed and dangerous, you're always going to assume the worst," said Klaver.
Earlier Thursday near the Card property near Bowdoin, about 15 miles from Lewiston, several FBI agents and other heavily armed officers gathered. A military-style vehicle and a white van arrived as a helicopter hovered overhead and someone repeatedly yelled, "FBI! Open the door!" Several loud bangs were heard a short time later.A telephone number listed for Card in public records was not in service.
Three of the 13 people wounded in the shootings were in critical condition and five were hospitalized but stable, Central Maine Medical Center officials said. Less than 15 minutes after the shooting began, numerous 911 calls started coming in from Schemengees, which was offering 25% discounts to customers who work in the bar or restaurant industry.
