Lewiston, Maine mass shooting: At least 22 dead as manhunt intensifies for person of interest Robert Card
A massive manhunt is underway in Maine after a mass shooting that spanned two locations Wednesday night left at least 22 people dead and 30 wounded, Fox News' Jacqui Heinrich reported, citing a law enforcement source.
Maine Public Safety Commissioner Mike Sauschuck said in a late night news conference that law enforcement is not yet confirming an exact number of victims since the situation remains "very fluid."
Wednesday’s death toll is staggering for a state that recorded 29 homicides for the whole year in 2022.
While a suspect has not yet been named, the Lewiston Police Department identified 40-year-old Robert R. Card, of Bowdoin, Maine, as a person of interest Wednesday night. According to an internal Maine Information and Analysis Center bulletin obtained by Fox News, Card is a firearms instructor and has military experience.
