Robert Card, the man accused of killing 18 people and wounding 13 others in Maine, was still on the loose as of Friday morning.
Hundreds of heavily armed police and FBI agents searched intensely for Robert Card, an Army reservist authorities say fatally shot 18 people at a bowling alley and a bar in the worst mass killing in state history.Investigators are checking those tips off their list as they work, Maine Department of Public Safety Commissioner Michael Sauschuck said at a news conference Friday morning.
Sauschuck said police were evaluating whether shelter-in-place orders for several communities need to be changed Friday. Law enforcement officials gather near a home as they prepare to search it for the suspect in connection with two mass shootings on October 26, 2023, in Bowdoin, Maine. Officials in Maine provide latest update on mass shooting. The number of deaths now confirmed to be 18 and injuries 12.
April Stevens lives in the same neighborhood where one of the shootings took place. She turned on all her lights overnight and locked her doors. She knew someone killed at the bar and another person injured who needed surgery.The attacks stunned a state of only 1.3 million people that has one of the country’s lowest homicide rates: 29 killings in all of 2022.
Maine doesn’t require permits to carry guns, and the state has a longstanding culture of gun ownership that is tied to its traditions of hunting and sport shooting. Keeping in mind the strong support for gun rights, lawmakers passed a "yellow flag" law in 2019 that would require police to seek a medical evaluation of anyone believed to be dangerous before then trying to take their guns away.
Eight murder warrants were issued for Card after authorities identified eight of the victims, police said. Ten more will likely be issued once the names of the rest of the dead are confirmed, said Maine State Police Col. William Ross.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 later, numerous 911 calls started coming in from Schemengees Bar and Grille a few miles away.
