Police respond to an active shooter situation in Lewiston, Maine, Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2023.
LEWISTON, Maine — Authorities carried out a multistate search on land and water Thursday for a U.S. Army reservist who they sayand wounded 13 in a mass shooting at a bowling alley and bar that sent panicked patrons scrambling under tables and behind bowling pins and gripped the entire state of Maine in fear.
Police said they have had no reported sightings of Card since the shootings at Schemengees Bar and Grille and at Sparetime Recreation, a bowling alley about 4 miles away. The Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office released two photos of the suspect walking into the bowling alley with a rifle raised to his shoulder.Eight murder warrants were issued for Card, 40, after authorities identified eight of the victims, police said.
Brandon said he scrambled down the length of the alley, sliding into the pin area and climbing up to hide in the machinery.Less than 15 minutes later, numerous 911 calls started coming in from Schemengees, which was offering 25% discounts to customers who work in the bar or restaurant industry. “It’s absolutely devastating, it really is. It’s scary. You go places, you expect to be safe,” he said. “The last thing I ever thought would happen at that place is what happened.”
Card’s car had been discovered by a boat launch near the Androscoggin River, which connects to the Kennebec, and Card's 15-foot boat remains unaccounted for, Smith said. But he added that officials didn't have any specific intelligence that Card might have escaped aboard his boat. “We’re just doing our due diligence,” he said.
State police took Card to the Keller Army Community Hospital at West Point for evaluation, according to the official, who was not authorized to publicly discuss the information and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
