t least 22 people are dead and 50-60 more were injured in a mass shooting at two businesses in Lewiston, Maine, according to NBC News.
The Androscoggin County Sheriff's Office said around 8 p.m. that a suspect was at large, sharing a photo of an armed man in what appeared to be a place of business.

Mass shooting in the last couple hours in Lewiston ME. Casualty numbers mounting. Suspect probably known but not apprehended as yet.
They are now saying 3 shooting locations and have identified Robert Card as a person of interest. Tragic and I hope the shooter burns in Hell!
And yes the lib sites are already filled with calls for more gun control and/or outright bans. Bob
Update:
The suspect is a firearms instructor, Army reservist that was in a mental facility for two weeks this last summer. He claims he was hearing voices. He may be insane but I hope he isn't taken alive.
This is what the liberals call the average AR-15 owner.
With over 330 million people odds are a crazy person is going to go off occasionally.

This incident is going to cause a lot of pain and anguish to us law abiding citizens.
Blame the gun or his "known" mental issues?
I saw a tee shirt with this printed on it "I Have A Gun And Am Schizophrenic". I wonder if he was wearing it?
A conversation with my brother who lives about 40 minutes from where the killer was last seen:
We’re a pretty dumb nation when it comes to mental health and access to firearms. A huge part of the nation wants to ban all guns as if guns go and kill on their own. Another part wants to arm everyone as if somehow adding tension to a crazy situation will create peace.
Criminals and crazy people will find a way to destroy themselves and others. Be it with a gun, a knife, a car, or something else.
Mental health is the issue. And as a nation, we’re crap at dealing with it.
Now folks, if we could get back to the prayers for the victims and prayers for a quick end to this crazy man's existence, that would be good. This isn't the time or the place to go on a another rant about how the left will handle the matter.

... and as usual the DEMOCRATs with their sycophants in media are blaming firearms for the killing, not the deranged lunatic sociopath.
One thing never changes. For every act of violence involving a firearm, DEMOCRATS will politicize it.
prayers for the victim and their family members
Ken when I posted they were guessing as it covered multiple locations I head 26 at one point then they settled at 22
No matter still a lot of innocent people and life's destroyed by a known mental case
Sad part again that one guy and one gun will impact millions of gun owners and creepy Joe and the gang will use it to the fullest extent
My heart goes out to all the people just out having a good time and will never return home
So many families devastated
It will never happen but the middle ages punishment would be nice like the rack and draw and quartering on live TV
Ken
No offense taken the news was just trying to get whatever they could to get there foot in the door
I just wonder if he will off himself or try and out fighting trying to take more with him
Yupp, in the rush to get the "news" out they will report anything and everything and sort it put later. My post above where I said they claimed 3 locations was also in error. The bowling alley actually went by two names but nobody thought to check that before reporting it. A simple Google search would have cleared it up. I still hope they kill the sucker and wish he was Muslim so that I could also hope all his virgins in paradise are named Bubba.
Fuzzy guys got excited and couldn't count correctly.
Just heard the found the shooter. Dead from a self inflicted gunshot.
Correct.
Shame he did not do the damage in reverse.
The initial reports are ALWAYS wrong but the media feeding frenzy doesn't care.
The National Guard has denied he was ever a firearms instructor. The injured Persons number has declined by more than half. When his whereabouts couldn't be determined after the vehicle recovery I had a hunch he did himself in.
I just read a head line they found him and he
shot himself
I can say I am not surprised
Robert Card, the suspected gunman in Wednesday’s mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, has been found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities confirmed Friday.
His death comes after a mass shooting — which occurred in two separate locations, a bowling alley and restaurant — left at least 18 dead and 13 injured. The incident led local and federal law enforcement on a multi-day statewide chase in search of Card.
Dang...
He must have done quite a bit of shooting including reloading. I find it rather amazing that in a small community, in a state like Maine, that nobody returned fire.
what I read
the places in the eyes of the law no one allowed to have a gun in such places serving alcohol.
go figure.
