BREAKING: Maine shooting suspect Robert Card found dead of self-inflicted gunshot wound
(LEWISTON, MAINE) BREAKING NEWS: A U.S. Army reservist accused of spraying a bowling alley and bar with gunfire in Lewiston, Maine, killing 18 people, was found dead after a 48-hour manhunt, restoring calm to communities unnerved by the bloodshed but leaving many questions unanswered.
The body of Robert R. Card, 40, was discovered on Friday night in a wooded area within the neighboring town of Lisbon Falls, near where police found his abandoned getaway vehicle shortly after the shooting spree on Wednesday night, police said.
Card appeared to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Maine Public Safety Commissioner Mike Sauschuck told reporters at a late-night briefing. He did not .
Sauschuck said police would have more to say at a news conference set for 10 a.m. EDT on Saturday. A total of 18 people perished and 13 others were wounded in Wednesday night’s carnage, which began when the gunman opened fire with a rifle inside the Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley, then launched another attack minutes later at Schemengees Bar & Grille Restaurant a few miles away.
