Police had been searching for suspect Robert Card since Wednesday night.
The manhunt has ended for suspect Robert Card, who allegedly killed 18 people and injured 13 others in a mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, on Wednesday evening. Gov. Janet Mills confirmed the suspect was found dead Friday night of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Wednesday's mass shooting unfolded in two locations: a bowling alley where a children's league was taking place and a local bar, officials said.
The names of the 18 people killed in Wednesday night's mass shooting in Maine were released by authorities on Friday.
The victims at the bowling alley include youth bowling coach Bob Violette and his wife Lucille Violette, as well as bowling alley manager Tommy Conrad.
Aaron Young, 14, and his father William "Bill" Young, 43, were also among the victims at the bowling alley, their family said.
Victims Steven Vozzella and Bill Brackett were among those killed at Schemengees Bar & Grille Restaurant. They were a part of a gathering of deaf people playing cornhole.

Please stay inside your homes while more than 100 investigators, both local and federal work to locate Robert Card who is a person of interest in the Lewiston shootings," Main State Police said in a post on social media.
ABC News has learned that Maine State Police plan on briefing the media at 10:30 a.m. ET on the mass shooting in Lewiston.
According to the Gun Violence Archive, the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, on Wednesday night is already the deadliest shooting of the year.
At least 20 people are believed to be dead from the shooting with dozens more injured.
The suspect has been on the run for hours.
This is the 565th mass shooting of 2023 and the 31st mass murder, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
Riley Dumont said her 11-year-old daughter was bowling in a children's bowling league when she heard several shots.
Dumont's father, a retired police officer, then corralled their family into a corner.
"I was laying on top of my daughter. My mother was laying on top of me," Dumont told ABC News.
Dumont said she saw three or four apparent victims.
