Manhunt for Maine mass shooter extends to another night
Quick Glance: Maine shooting suspect found dead, ending 2-day manhunt
  • The man believed to have killed 18 people and wounded 13 others in a Maine city on Wednesday has been found dead, state officials confirmed Friday night.

  • Maine Governor Janet Mills said Robert Card's body was found in Lisbon, a town about 12 kilometers east of Lewiston where the shootings took place.

  • Card, 40, was a U.S. Army reservist who opened fire at Schemengees Bar and Grille and at Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley in Lewiston on Wednesday night and then fled both scenes.

  • A bulletin sent to police across the country shortly after the attack, which was viewed by the Associated Press, said Card had been committed to a mental health facility for two weeks this past summer after 'hearing voices and threats to shoot up' a military base.
