-At least 22 people have been shot dead in a mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, and 50-60 people injured at three different locations
-Robert Card, a 40-year-old Army reservist and firearms instructor from Bowdoin, is named by police as 'a person of interest': his empty car has been found
-They have issued a photo of the suspect entering Sparetime bowling alley at 7:15pm; they were also called to a bar and a Walmart distribution center
A massive manhunt is underway in Maine for an Army reserve firearms instructor who was sectioned this summer for mental health reasons, and is suspected of shooting dead 22 people on Wednesday night at multiple sites in Lewiston.
Robert Card, 40, from Bowdoin, Maine, was named by Maine state police as the a 'person of interest' in the shootings at a bowling alley, restaurant and Walmart distribution center.
He was sectioned after saying he was hearing voices, and threatening to shoot up his National Guard base in Saco, Maine.
Card was armed with an AR 15-style rifle with laser optics when he burst into the bowling alley at 7:15pm to begin his rampage.
He was driving a 2013 white Subaru: Eric Samson, sheriff of Androscoggin County, announced at 11:20pm that law enforcement officers have found the vehicle in Lisbon, about seven miles southeast of Lewiston - but Card was not inside.
Mike Sauschuck, a law enforcement spokesperson in Lewiston, said Card 'is considered armed and dangerous.'

G.W.: Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
Nod to Mae West——
“She made this remark in February 1936, at the railway station in Los Angeles upon her return from Chicago, when a Los Angeles police officer was assigned to escort her home. She first delivered the line on film in She Done Him Wrong, and again to George Hamilton in her last movie, Sextette (1978).”
Evil unAmerican turd. A traitor to the uniform.
Once again the authorities dropped the the ball. This time it looks like it was the military that effed up. Perhaps by design? Major mental health risk with a violent threat, and they didn't take his weapons away? Insane.
He was almost certainly prescribed SSRIs or anti-psychotic medication. If he stopped suddenly, there would be severe mental problems
Also, the psychiatrist should have requested all guns be removed from his house. (Whether is not he would comply would be a different matter.)
A wittily incisive reply.👍
It is absurd once again to hear of someone dangerous being let go from a mental health facility.
Probably afraid of curtailing his rights-——while ignoring the right of people to live (22 dead, at least 30 others injured).
And I am an unwavering supporter of the 2nd Amendment!
If you get the chance, watch the movie “Come and See.” I think it is pretty accurate. Nazis showed up in villages in the East and the villagers gave them a traditional welcome. The villagers had no idea of what was about to happen. The absence of reliable news sources kept many from knowing what the Nazis were doing.
Well said. And he could hide in them for days.
ME is a constitutional carry state, IIRC.
They LOVE their guns up there. What’s up with him getting away with killing that many people and nobody taking him out?
Not to mention that its hunting season.
And based on the forecast, soon going to be very cold.
And they are likely tick infested as the rest of New England is.

He was “5150” and should have been institutionalized.
Yeah. I picked up it was /s aka /sarcasm
Also checked your posting history. You appear to "get it."
I've learned the hard way it's best to include the /sarc tag when in doubt.
Great post!
I guess I forgot to put the /s in.

I was wondering the same thing. Gun free zones perhaps? By definition they are target rich environments. I feel really bad for unarmed people. Lotsa trees in Maine. I gotta an idea how to use one of them.
God bless the survivors and all the families affected.
no excuses...he's just a raging animal and he needs his karma to come quick.
Render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasar’s and unto GOD that which is GOD’S.
He answers to man’s law. His soul is GOD’S. What GOD does with him is not in my pay grade. However, I got an idea what I think should be done with him.
Karma is 🐂💩.
Go ahead and grow a set and consider him a suspect.
