Maine officials hold press conference on mass shooting: Watch live

A manhunt for a gunman is underway after at least 16 people were killed and dozens more were injured in two mass shootings at a bar and a bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine.

Lewiston Police responded to an active-shooter situation at Schemengees Bar and Grille and at Sparetime Recreation, a bowling alley about 4 miles away.

Police released a photo of a person of interest, identified as 40-year-old Robert Card — a firearms instructor in the Army Reserve assigned to a training facility in Saco, Maine. Police warned residents that Card is “considered armed and dangerous.”

Maine State Police expanded the shelter in place advisory to include residents of Lisbon, after they found a vehicle of interest there. By Thursday morning, the order was issued for residents of Bowdoin as well.

More than 100 federal and local investigators are working to track down Card.


Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) and other state and local officials are holding a press briefing Thursday morning.
