Police are searching for a man trained as a firearms instructor at a US Army Reserve training facility in Maine after a mass shooting in the state that reportedly killed at least 16 people and left another 50 to 60 injured Wednesday night, some of whom were reportedly hurt during a stampede. (Some outlets were later reporting a death toll of 15 to 22, and details were very much in flux.) Robert Card, 40, has been identified as a person of interest in the case, the AP reports. A police intelligence bulletin says Card was committed to a mental health facility for two weeks this summer, and that he had reported hearing voices and previously threatened to "shoot up" a National Guard base in Maine. Wednesday night's massacre took place at two locations in Lewiston, Schemengees Bar and Grille and Sparetime Recreation, a bowling alley about 4 miles away.
"Yeah, there were kids, that's—like, looking back, like that was probably the hardest part, seeing—just families, families pouring out of there and knowing that that happened in there while they were probably just trying to have a family night," a witness who drove by the bowling alley in the wake of the shooting tells CNN. Residents of Lewiston and neighboring Auburn have been instructed to shelter in place, NBC News reports, and officials are cautioning that Card should be considered armed and dangerous. "If people see him, they should not approach Card or make contact with him in any way," Maine's public safety commissioner said. (More Maine stories.)
