BGUK_2759876 - Mass shooting suspect who has killed at least 22 and injured 60 in Maine is identified as Army reservist Robert Card. A massive manhunt is now underway in Lewiston Maine for an Army reserve firearms instructor who was sectioned this summer for mental health reasons, and is suspected of shooting dead 22 people. Robert Card, 40, from Bowdoin, Maine, was named by Maine state police as the suspect 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 the National Guard base in Saco, Maine. In a statement Maine Police revealed: “Card is a trained firearms instructor believed to be in the Army Reserve stationed out of Sace, ME. According to law enforcement, Card recently reported mental health issues to include hearing voices and threats to shoot up the National Guard Base in Sace, ME. Card was reported to have been committed to mental health facility for two weeks during the summer of 2023 and subsequently released. The subject should be considered armed and dangerous.” 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. Lewiston city administrator confirmed that 22 were dead while local councillor Robert McCarthy said, with 50-60 were injured. The three locations were Sparetime bowling alley; Schemengee's bar and grill; and a Walmart distribution center - although a spokesman said that the shooting was not on the site itself. *BACKGRID DOES NOT CLAIM ANY COPYRIGHT OR LICENSE IN THE ATTACHED MATERIAL.
