Coast Guard hunts for missing boat, finds note at suspect’s house.
Search for Suspected Gunman Intensifies in Maine
From the depths of the Kennebec River to the homes connected to the alleged shooter, the hunt for Robert Card continues.
Card, a 40-year-old man, has been on the run since Wednesday evening when gunfire erupted at two locations in Lewiston, Maine. The tragic incident resulted in the deaths of 18 people and left 13 others injured.
During a search of Card’s residence, law enforcement officials discovered a note, as reported by NBC News. Although the contents of the note have not been disclosed, investigators are working tirelessly to decipher its meaning and utilize it in their search for Card.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Coast Guard is scouring the Kennebec River for Card’s missing 15-foot boat. According to The Messenger, Card’s vehicle was found near a dock in a nearby community.
Despite hours of searching, Chief Petty Officer Ryan Smith stated that nothing unusual has been found so far, as reported by The Washington Post.
Thursday evening saw FBI agents and other law enforcement officers surrounding a residence in Bowdoin, where several of Card’s relatives reside. As a helicopter circled overhead, the officers demanded entry into the home.
As the search continues, survivors are sharing their harrowing escape stories.
One survivor, identified only as Brandon, recounted how he narrowly avoided being shot by sprinting down a bowling lane and taking cover in the pin-setting equipment.
“Out of nowhere, he just came in and there was a loud pop. I thought it was a balloon and I had my back turned to the door,” Brandon told a reporter. “As soon as I turned and saw that it was not a balloon, he was holding a weapon, I just booked it down the lane and I slid basically into where the pins are and climbed up into the machine and was on top of the machines for about 10 minutes.”
Card, a long-time member of the Army Reserve, had previously been sent for in-patient psychiatric treatment this summer after making threats at his base, according to NBC. His sister-in-law also revealed that he had been experiencing auditory hallucinations, including during the bowling alley and restaurant incidents on Wednesday.

What potential clues might be found in the note discovered at Robert Card’s residence that could help in locating him?
Since the tragic shooting incident in Lewiston, Maine on Wednesday evening, the search for the suspected gunman, Robert Card, has intensified. With the death toll standing at 18 and 13 more injured, law enforcement officials are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to bring Card to justice.
During a search of Card’s residence, a note was discovered by investigators. The contents of the note have not been made public, but it holds potential clues that could help in locating Card. The authorities are dedicating significant resources to decipher the note’s meaning and utilize it in their search operation, as reported by NBC News.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Coast Guard is focusing its efforts on scouring the Kennebec River to locate Card’s missing 15-foot boat. The Messenger reported that Card’s vehicle was found near a dock in a nearby community, raising suspicions about his potential escape route. However, despite extensive search efforts, no significant findings have been reported so far, according to Chief Petty Officer Ryan Smith, as reported by The Washington Post.
In an attempt to gather more information, FBI agents and other law enforcement officers surrounded a residence in Bowdoin, where several of Card’s relatives reside. With a helicopter circling overhead, they demanded entry into the house, indicating the intensity of the search operation.
Survivors of the shooting have also been sharing their terrifying escape stories. Brandon, one survivor, described how he narrowly avoided being shot by sprinting down a bowling lane and seeking refuge in the pin-setting equipment. His quick thinking and courage likely saved his life. Brandon recounted his experience to a reporter, highlighting the suddenness of the attack and his immediate response.
Further details about Card’s background have emerged, shedding light on his mental health struggles. NBC News reported that Card, a long-time member of the Army Reserve, had previously undergone in-patient psychiatric treatment during the summer after making threats at his base. His sister-in-law also revealed that he had been experiencing auditory hallucinations, including during the incidents at the bowling alley and restaurant on Wednesday.
As the search for Card intensifies, the community in Maine remains on edge, hoping for a swift resolution to this tragic event. Law enforcement agencies are collaborating at all levels to ensure the safety of the public and bring the suspected gunman to justice.
The thoughts and prayers of our organization are with the victims and their families during this difficult time. We honor the bravery of survivors, like Brandon, and admire their resilience in the face of such a traumatic event. May justice be served, and may the community find healing and solace in the days to come.
Stay tuned for updates on this ongoing investigation.
Sincerely,
