Recent reports from I-Team sources have unveiled that Robert Card, a person of interest in the tragic mass shooting in Maine, has connections to Massachusetts. The shooting, which took place in Lewiston, resulted in the loss of at least 16 lives, with dozens more injured. However, the exact number of casualties and injuries fluctuated throughout the night.

Lewiston, situated about two hours north of Boston and approximately 30 miles north of Portland, Maine, is the state’s second-largest city. The severity of the incident has prompted a significant response from various law enforcement agencies, including federal entities like the U.S. Marshals and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). CBS News has reported that police across New England are on high alert, with departments as far away as New York City monitoring a “be on the lookout” alert that was disseminated to tens of thousands of officers.

According to a law enforcement bulletin revealed by CBS News, Card is a trained firearms instructor, believed to be associated with the Army Reserves stationed in Saco, Maine. His last known address is in Bowdoin, Maine. Bowdoin is in close proximity to Lewiston, as is Lisbon, where Card’s car was discovered.

I-Team sources have disclosed that Card has multiple vehicles registered to him, including a motorcycle. Due to his purported connections to the state, police positioned themselves along the Massachusetts border overnight. Precautionary measures were also taken along the Maine and New Hampshire borders.
