The manhunt for Robert Card, the man charged with fatally shooting eight of the 18 victims in Wednesday's mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, continued into Friday.
Card is still on the loose after police executed a search warrant on a residence in Bowdoin, Maine, which is nearly 15 miles from Lewiston. State and federal authorities, including the Coast Guard, have been trying to track down Card, an Army reservist, since Wednesday evening. Authorities believe he carried out attacks that killed 18 people and injured 13 others, at least three critically. Authorities said it is likely he'll face additional charges when arrested.
Schools remain closed in Lewiston and surrounding communities. The area also remains in a shelter-in-place, meaning residents are encouraged to"stay off the streets."Card is a petroleum supply specialist in the Army Reserve. A spokesperson for the Army said Card is assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 304th Infantry Regiment, in Saco, Maine.As more than 100 law enforcement officials searched for Card, they were warned about his military training.
The bulletin also states that Card threatened to carry out a shooting at the military training base in Saco. It added that Card was committed to a mental facility over the summer after he reported hearing voices.
