Maine shooting: New details emerge in Robert Card's death

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.


What we know about the victims

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.

7 killed at bowling alley, 8 at bar

Seven people were killed at the Sparetime Recreation bowling alley: one female and six males, authorities said.

Eight people were shot and killed at Schemengees Bar & Grille: seven males inside and one male outside, police said.

Three people died at the hospital, police said.

Eight of the deceased victims have been identified and those families have been notified, police said.

The suspect, Robert Card, remains at large and is considered armed and dangerous, authorities said.

A warrant for eight counts of murder has been issued for his arrest. Police said the warrant will be updated when the remaining 10 victims are identified.

Officials said they're looking into the suspect's mental health history.


'One of the safest states in the nation'

"No words can truly or fully measure the grief," Maine Gov. Janet Mills said at a news conference Thursday.

"Our small state of just 1.3 million people has long been known as one of the safest states in the nation," she said. "This attack strikes at the very heart of who we are and the values we hold dear for this precious place we call home. All Maine people are sharing in the sorrow of the families who lost loved ones last night."

Maine had just 29 homicides all of last year, according to The Associated Press.


Deadliest shooting of the year

There have been at least 565 mass shootings in the U.S. so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. Mass shootings are defined as an incident in which four or more victims are shot or killed, according to the archive.

Wednesday night's mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, which claimed at least 18 lives, is the deadliest shooting of the year and one of the deadliest in recent decades.
