Maine mass shootings: Manhunt under way with suspect at large - latest updates - The Telegraph

Hundreds of police officers are scouring the US state of Maine for a suspect wanted in connection with mass shootings that killed at least 16 people and left dozens injured.

State and local police named Robert Card, 40, as a person of interest after a gunman opened fire at a bowling alley and restaurant in Lewiston, the second largest city in Maine.

The exact number of fatalities is not known at this stage but it has been reported at least 16 people have been killed, although other reports say the death toll could be as high as 22. Police are scheduled to hold a press conference at 10.30am local time (3.30pm UK time).

Local media have reported the search of Card is focused behind a secondary school in Lisbon Falls near the Androscoggin River with a helicopter involved. 

Journalist Sam Rogers reported two Portland Police Department tactical trucks have arrived at Lisbon High School with “officers in full gear”.

“We have literally hundreds of police officers working around the state of Maine to investigate this case,” Maine Public Safety Commissioner Mike Sauschuck told a news conference.

Several media reported that a Maine law enforcement bulletin identified Card as a trained firearms instructor and member of the US Army reserve who recently reported that he had mental health issues, including hearing voices.
