Hunt for Lewiston mass shooter enters its 2nd day

The hunt for the man suspected of killing 18 people in Lewiston continued Friday morning.

Robert R. Card II, 40, of Bowdoin is suspected in shootings at a bowling alley and restaurant in Lewiston Wednesday night. Eighteen people were killed and 13 were injured. It was one of the worst mass shootings in the nation.

Many schools and businesses remained closed on Friday as the manhunt for Card continued.

Lewiston Mayor Carl Sheline said Thursday night that a shelter-in-place order will remain in place indefinitely as the manhunt for Card continues. Androscoggin County and northern Sagadahoc County were under orders to shelter in place Thursday night.

On Thursday night, police had surrounded a Card family home on Meadow Road in Bowdoin. Reporters heard announcements over a loudspeaker addressing Card by name, saying, “We know you’re inside” and telling the 40-year-old to come out with his hands up. A helicopter flew overhead.
