An arrest warrant was issued for Robert Card, a 40-year-old from Bowdoin with a military background, as hundreds of law enforcement agents search Maine for himA massive search is underway for 40-year-old Robert Card, the man accused of being the gunman who left 18 people dead in a mass killing at a restaurant and a bowling alley in Lewiston.
Three law enforcement sources told NBC News Thursday night that, while the officers and agents taking part in the"very active" manhunt were loudly announcing their presence as they searched and re-searched properties and giving him an opportunity to surrender, there was no indication he was at any specific address.
"This heinous attack, which has robbed the lives of at least 18 Mainers and injured so many more, is the worst mass shooting that the state of Maine has ever experienced, and could ever imagine," she said. "He should be considered armed and dangerous based on our investigation," Col. William Ross from the Maine State Police said.
A vehicle of interest was found at the Presumpscot Boat Launch in Lisbon Wednesday night, and, like in nearby Lewiston, town offices there were closed Thursday as officials issued a shelter-in-place order there as well. All Hannaford Supermarkets stores in Maine were closed until at least 10 a.m. on Thursday, the company announced on Facebook. And New Balance, which has three factories in Maine, postponed the groundbreaking on its new facility in Londonderry, New Hampshire, in the wake of the tragedy.
The search for a mass killer in Maine continued Thursday morning with Lewiston still under lockdown hours after deadly shootings at two local businesses.Card, the suspect being sought by police, is a firearms instructor trained by the military who was recently committed to a mental health facility, according to a state police bulletin that was circulated to law enforcement officials on Wednesday night.
The assault rifle style weapon used by Card was purchased legally this year, according to two senior law enforcement officials who spoke to NBC News. Hospitals in the area, which is north of Portland and southwest of Augusta, had activated critical care procedures to deal with the influx of casualties.
