LEWISTON, Maine, Oct 27 (Reuters) – Police in Maine extended their round-the-clock search into Friday for U.S. army reservist Robert R. Card, their main suspect in a mass shooting on Wednesday at a bar and bowling alley in Lewiston in which 18 people were killed and 13 were injured.
Officials urged tens of thousands of area residents to stay indoors for their safety.
Part of the search played out on live television Thursday night when officials executed several search warrants in the neighboring town of Bowdoin, Maine, where Card lives.
Law enforcement officials surrounded Card’s house in the woods for more than two hours, with an FBI agent issuing orders over a bullhorn to “come out with your hands up,” but apparently nobody was inside.
Police did not know if Card was inside when the effort began and the amplified messages were “standard search warrant announcements,” a Maine Department of Public Safety spokesperson said.

Robert Card has been named as the suspect in a mass shooting which happened Wednesday night in Maine. At least 18 people were killed and another 13 were injured in the attack. Card is still on the loose and a large manhunt is ongoing.
Police said they have had no reported sightings of Card since the shootings at Schemengees Bar and Grille and at Sparetime Recreation, a bowling alley about 4 miles (6 kilometers) away. The Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office released two photos of the suspect walking into the bowling alley with a rifle raised to his shoulder…
The attack started at Sparetime, where a children’s bowling league was taking place, just before 7 p.m. Wednesday. One bowler, who identified himself only as Brandon, said he heard about 10 shots, thinking the first was a balloon popping.
Here’s an interview with Brandon:
The shooter then moved to a second location:
Less than 15 minutes later, numerous 911 calls started coming in from Schemengees, which was offering 25% discounts to customers who work in the bar or restaurant industry.
Patrick Poulin was supposed to be at the bowling center with his 15-year-old son, who is in a league that was practicing Wednesday. They stayed home, but he estimates there were probably several dozen young bowlers, ages 4 to 18, along with their parents, in the facility. Poulin’s brother was there, he said, and shepherded some of the children outside when the shooting began.
