A manhunt is underway for US Army reservist Robert Card, the prime suspect in a mass shooting that left 18 people dead and 13 others wounded in Lewiston, Maine. Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Card on eight counts of murder, highlighting that ten victims remain unidentified.

Described as “armed and dangerous,” Card remains at large, prompting a tense situation in the area. The shooting, which initially occurred at a bowling alley before spreading to a nearby restaurant, has sent shockwaves through the small town. Residents have been instructed to remain indoors, and local establishments, including schools, have been closed as a precautionary measure.

The suspect’s reported history of mental health issues, including threatening behavior and recent admissions to a treatment facility, has added a concerning layer to the investigation. Despite earlier speculation, police clarified that there is no evidence suggesting his attendance at advanced weaponry courses.
