Robert Card, 40, was suspected of fatally shooting 18 people and wounding 13 others in Lewiston on Wednesday night. The hunt for him had put the region on lockdown.
Maine Commissioner of Public Safety Mike Sauschuck speaks during a news conference Friday night in the aftermath of the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine.LEWISTON, Maine — Robert Card, the suspected perpetrator of this week's mass shooting in Maine, has been found dead, authorities announced Friday.
The families of all 18 victims have been notified. The office of Maine's Chief Medical Examiner said the youngest victim, Aaron Young, was 14 and the oldest, Robert E. Violette, was 76. The boat launch search in Libson, near where Card's white Subaru was found, will continue into Saturday, Sauschuck said. More divers, both from in and out of state, are expected to help with the search.
Teams are physically searching multiple locations for evidence that might lead them to Card, with Sauschuck stressing that investigators have"many irons in the fire." One emerging focus of those efforts is the area near a boat launch where officials found a vehicle registered in Card's name.
