The mass shooter who killed at least 18 people in Maine remains at large. Authorities are hunting for 40-year-old firearms instructor Robert Card, who went on a deadly shooting rampage at a bowling alley and bar in Lewiston on Wednesday. The Coast Guard was searching the Kennebec River after the suspect, who owns a 15-foot motorboat, abandoned his car at a boat launch 10 miles from the crime scenes. Multiple Maine communities remain on lockdown, with several schools closed and residents urged not to leave their homes. The shooting prompted President Biden to renew his calls for Congress to pass an assault weapons ban and other gun control measures.
