The devastating events that unfolded in Lewiston, Maine, on the evening of October 25 have sent shockwaves across the nation and around the world.
The mass shooting that night resulted in 22 fatalities and left another 60 individuals wounded.
The suspect at the center of this horrifying event is 41-year-old Robert Card. Card.
He is a former military officer now infamous for his alleged involvement in the shootings at two businesses in Lewiston.
Robert Card’s personal history reveals a complex and troubled individual. He has experienced two divorces and is the father of three children.
Moreover, Card has a troubling history of arrests for domestic violence and various other crimes, including a restraining order against him obtained by one of his ex-wives.
While Card identifies as an independent politically, reports have suggested that he may have voted for Barack Obama in the past, but his political beliefs seem tangential to the current investigation.
In the wake of the shootings, Lewiston’s emergency personnel and authorities are working tirelessly to manage the situation and apprehend the suspect.
An emergency alert has been issued, urging residents to stay away from the affected areas and to shelter in place as the suspect remains at large.
