A law enforcement bulletin identified Robert Card, 40, who recently said he had been hearing voices and had other mental health issues.

Police searched for a US Army reservist wanted for murder after 18 people were killed and 13 were wounded in shooting attacks at a bowling alley and a bar in the city of Lewiston the previous night.

Maine State Police found a white SUV they believe Card drove to the town of Lisbon, about 11 kilometres to the southeast, and urged people to remain indoors in both Lewiston and Lisbon. Early on Thursday , police also told residents in the town of Bowdoin, about 19 kilometres east of Lewiston, to shelter in place. Card lives in Bowdoin, according to public records.

He threatened to shoot up the National Guard base in Saco and was “reported to have been committed to mental health facility for two weeks during summer 2023 and subsequently released,” according to the bulletin from the Maine Information & Analysis Centre, a unit of Maine State Police. Reuters could not confirm the details reported in the bulletin.

Doctors at Maine Central Health Care were treating eight survivors, with three in critical condition, Chief Medical Officer Dr John Alexander told reporters.
