Investigators are looking into whether Maine shooting suspect Robert Card was targeting a specific person, believed to be a current or former girlfriend, two U.S. officials and a former high-ranking official told CBS News. Card is suspected of killing 18 people and injuring 13 in shootings at multiple Lewiston, Maine, locations Wednesday night. Police are still searching for Card. CBS News Jericka Duncan and Jeff Pegues have more.
WHO IS THE SUSPECT?
A murder warrant is out for the arrest of 40-year-old Robert Card of Bowdoin, Maine, in the attack in Lewiston that left 18 people dead and 13 people injured.
Maine State Police say Card is wanted on eight counts of murder. Ten victims remain unidentified. As victims are identified, the counts against Card will probably reach 18, Maine State Police Col. William Ross said.
Card, still at large, was considered armed and dangerous, police said. Nearly two days after the shooting, police have given no indication that they have any leads into Card’s whereabouts.
Two law enforcement officials told The Associated Press that investigators found a note at a home associated with Card on Thursday that was addressed to his son. The officials described it as a suicide note, but said it didn’t provide any specific motive for the shooting. Card’s cellphone was also found in the home and a gun was found in the white Subaru that Card abandoned, the officials said. Federal agents were testing the gun to determine if it was used in the shooting and conducting a trace to determine when and where the gun was obtained, the officials said. They were not authorized to publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity.
Card’s relatives told federal investigators that he recently discussed hearing voices and became more focused on the bowling alley and bar, officials said.
Officials said Card was an Army reservist who had been taken by police for an evaluation after military officials became concerned that he was acting erratically in mid-July.
