Authorities said an arrest warrant citing eight counts of murder has been issued after the shootings in Lewiston.
By Devlin Barrett, Perry Stein, Mark Berman and Alex Horton, The Washington PostThis photo released by the Lewiston Maine Police Department shows Robert Card, who police have identified as a person of interest in connection to mass shootings in Lewiston, Maine, on Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2023.
Authorities have identified Card, 40, of Bowdoin, Maine, as the suspect they are seeking after the mass killings in Lewiston, Maine, on Wednesday night. Ross said that although 18 people were killed, as of Thursday morning officials had identified only eight of the victims, so eight counts of murder were cited in the arrest warrant. The arrest warrant is still sealed, according to the Maine State Police.
Card’s commanders were so concerned about his comments that he was sent to a hospital, where he received roughly two weeks of inpatient psychiatric treatment, this person said. It is unclear whether any other consequences for Card resulted from that episode.Investigators suspect that the shooter used a .308 rifle to commit the attacks, two people familiar with the matter said, again speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss information that has not been made public.
