What we know so far about the mass shooting in Maine

Associated Press  

LEWISTON, Maine — Authorities say a U.S. Army reservist fatally shot 18 people at a bowling alley and a restaurant in Lewiston, Maine, on Wednesday night. He said another state police team returned Friday and found Card’s body alongside several guns in a trailer that hadn’t been searched. The New York Army National Guard said the Army Reserve’s 3rd Battalion, 304th Infantry Regiment, became concerned about Card’s behavior while the unit was training at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York. Card’s relatives told federal investigators that he recently discussed hearing voices and became more focused on the bowling alley and bar in Lewiston, officials said. In a statement following the announcement of Card’s death, Biden said the aftermath of the shooting “has been a tragic two days – not just for Lewiston, Maine, but for our entire country.” “Tonight we’re grateful that Lewiston and surrounding communities are safe after spending excruciating days hiding in their homes,” said Biden.
