Robert Card, the suspect in two shootings in which 18 people were killed and 13 injured in Lewiston, Maine, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Friday.

Card was wanted for the shootings at the Schemengees Bar and Grille and the Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley Wednesday. He was found near the Androscoggin River in Lisbon Falls at about 7:45 p.m., Maine Department of Public Safety Commissioner Mike Sauschuck said at a news briefing.

“The suspect in Wednesday night’s shootings has been located and is deceased,” the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office said on Facebook. Officials did not give an estimated time of death.

Hundreds of law enforcement officials conducted a massive manhunt for Card, 40, an Army reservist from Bowdoin, Maine. Thousands of residents of nearby towns were ordered to shelter in place during the search.

  1. A tragedy has happened, don't beat youself up about this nothing no one could have prevented. This was an act of Satan, when God is not embedded in you the the work of Satan is in controll. Now you all can start the process of healing because that affected so many over the globe what has happened. I will pray and God for the healing of your soul and mind. For your family and his.

  2. jf he was going to commit suicide in the first place why did he havevto shot and kill innocent people as well as wounding other people along the way. no matter what he destroyed the people he killed their lives as as the family and friends live as well as wounding those people he wou dedicated there lives will never be the same as they started out that sad day .

  3. Card shouldve still been in mental ward & shouldnt of been able to buy an assault weapon. Mass shootings r now the norm? STAY SAFE & HEALTHY💜🙏💜

  4. Regardless of who, what and where, he is gone! No more drama, news reporters, trials, law enforcement or lawyers seeking financial gain?
    publicity or attention of any kind. It’s over so friends and family can heal.
