Police Hunt Lewiston Gunman, Saying Toll Is Likely to Rise
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The city was on lockdown early Thursday with an “armed and dangerous” man at large. At least seven people were killed in two shootings, the sheriff said.
Residents of multiple towns in southern Maine were under shelter-in-place orders early Thursday, as the police continued an overnight hunt for a man suspected of killing at least seven people in shootings at a bowling alley and a bar.
The gunman walked into the bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine, on Wednesday evening and fatally shot at least seven people before moving on to a nearby bar, according to Sheriff Eric Samson of Androscoggin County. The total number of people killed and wounded was unclear. Mr. Samson said he did not know the number of casualties from the shooting at the bar.
Law enforcement officials said early Thursday that the gunman was still at large, and they released information about a man they described as a “person of interest.” They said they were searching for Robert R. Card, 40, of Bowdoin, Maine. On social media, law enforcement agencies said Mr. Card “should be considered armed and dangerous” and posted a photo of a man in a brown, hooded sweatshirt carrying a military-style semiautomatic rifle.
Local officials closed roads asked residents to stay home. The campus of Bates College, which is in Lewiston halfway between the sites of the two shootings, was on lockdown. » | Eoin Higgins, Orlando Mayorquin and Livia Albeck-Ripka ; Eoin Higgins reported from Portland, Maine. | Thursday, October 26, 2023
