As authorities continue their search for Robert Card in connection with a mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, that left 18 dead and 13 injured, there are several questions that remain
A huge manhunt is taking place in Maine, USA, for the person police believe is responsible for a mass shooting that left 18 dead and 13 injured.
The Army Reservist was sectioned several months ago due to mental health reasons, and before leaving the Army base claimed he was hearing voices, as well as threatening to shoot up the National Guard base in Saco, Maine. The manhunt for the suspected shooter is now in its second day, with multiple theories as to how he has managed to evade capture.
He said Card could still be in the area, hunkering down and planning a shoot-out with police or his own death, or he could be across the other side of the country. Mr Galbreath said Card's military training would have provided a survival "skillset and mindset" which would have taught him how to "live in an environment that's not comfortable."
What was Robert Card's motive? With Card still on the run, and not having yet spoken to authorities his reason for opening fire on the bowling alley and bar is not yet entirely clear. However, as more details about his personal life are revealed, there are some discoveries that investigators are paying close attention to.
Between January and March, information provided to law enforcement shows Card 'liked' posts about classified documents found at Biden's home, calls for the IRS to be abolished, allegations of Democrats engaging in election fraud in 2020 and Covid conspiracy theories. It's alleged that Card threatened other soldiers with violence and was "command directed" to go to the hospital for evaluation. He's said to have been hearing voices, and threatened to shoot up the National Guard base in Saco, Maine.
76-year-old retiree Bob Violette had a volunteer job coaching the youth bowling league that was practising on Wednesday night when he was gunned down. Patrick Poulin's teenage son has been a member for three years and described Bob as unfailingly approachable and caring. Tricia was running for her phone to call 911 when she was shot and killed. Her mother, Alicia Lachance, said her daughter was trying to get law enforcement to the scene to protect the children at the bowling alley. She and her family were regulars at the bowling alley and Tricia had worked there as it was owned by family friends.

That is what he will always be remembered for."
