And so, it is the Ongoing Investigation to apprehend this individual are happening simultaneously. I cant stress it enough, this is Ongoing Investigation in the early stages and more information is going to be coming out in conjunction with the Attorney Generals Office as the lead prosecutor. We cannot share all of the information right now, and i am sure that you understand that. I want to give out two numbers that are good with the tip line and 911 is appropriate for this, but if you can call these two numbers this going to the state police tip line. Area code 2072139526. 2075099002. Well be sending something out later that has the information in it if you were not able to grab it now. Again, this is a very fluid situation. We have a lot of resources as chief st. Pierre had mentioned earlier that are on the ground and in a coordinated effort to apprehend this individual. We have notified the Department Of Education and they have determined what they are going to do with the schools, and a lot of the schools, area schools were shutdown today based on our conversation with them. As more information is coming in, we will provide it to you. Thank you for the time. This is a difficult time for, i think that the community of lewiston, and difficult time for the obviously the victims families, and it is a tough time for Law Enforcement. It was a Rough Night Last night, and we are committed to bringing, you know, whoever is responsible for bringing this person to justice. And we are currently looking for mr. Card right now, and someone we would like to apprehend. Thank you. Thank you, colonel. The fbi Special Agent in charge cohen, if you could join me, please. Thank you. My name is jodi cohen, and im the fbi Special Agent in charge from boston that covers maine. Our hearts go out to everyone who was involved in this senseless violence. We are working hand in hand with the Law Enforcement officers, and we are here to process the extensive scenes, and we are providing the investigative and tactical support, and victim specialists are working those affected bed be i affected this tragedy. We are asking the public to stay vigilant and come forward with any information that you might have that you feel is helpful to our investigators. My pledge is that the fbi will carry out this investigative case with rigor. We will work day and night alongside our Law Enforcement partners to get the answers to the questions this community deserves. We thank the public for your continued cooperation and patience as we have continued to work this very active investigation, thank you. Appreciate that. I would say that the reality here from the Resource Standpoint is that when we have asked for anything the answer has been yes, period. Tactical teams, response team, and full blown investigative units and Detective Units coming from multiple states whether it is the commissioners from vermont, New Hampshire reaching out to me directly, massachusetts, and saying what can we do for the state of maine, and so we are prepared to take a few questions and keep in mind that we may not be able to answer as in depth as you would like, and we dont plan on taking a great deal of questions. The followup press events will allow for that. S sir . Arstyle rifle, and the other thing is that there are reports that the individual had Mental Health issues that he had made threats to shoot up the national guard, and so clearly some signs that he was on someones radar, and the question is becoming why he was in possession of this weapon, and certainly why wouldnt he be stopped sooner . Those are all valid questions and questions that we are looking into now, and not questions that we can answer today considering that this occurred last night, there is still an active search for the suspect in question, so i can appreciate the questions bush not something to answer right no now. And for certainly to follow up on all aspects of that. Go ahead right here. Can you tell us i am not sure, and we wanted to break it down by gender, and we did not break it down into age ranges at all. Yes . And the suspect in the case or the Person Of Interest, and i noticed that the language is clear, because you are saying Person Of Interest and not suspect, and why that terminology and what can you tell us . We used Person Of Interest last night for half of the room that was here for that press event and as the colonel had mentioned there is now Arrest Warrants for murder for this particular individual, mr. Card. So, he is viewed as a suspect, and there is a full court press by all of the partners to bring him into custody. What was the second piece of the question . What can you tell us about the recent issues of his Mental Health, and the language in the bulletin for Mental Health for two weeks and how can someone with that profile be in possession of firearms . We know that statues are complex, and that not something that goes into motive and behavioral Health Issues and i suspect that you will be hear back to us about that. And we have been seeing the helicopters, and can you tell us about what is leading you for that far north of the seaport . We have Law Enforcement assets deployed over a number of communities and following up on a number of things. As you can imagine, there is a number of Search Warrants that we are following up on and partners from the New Hampshire state police and that copter was here last night to assist us as well, and whether it is tactical elements out or searching an area, and some of the air assets would be valuable for us, and this is what they are doing. And can you tell us why you are there . We wont speak to what brings us to a specific Community One way or another. And why are people encouraged to have dna Family Members or loved ones and what is that well, so, we did have a Family Reunification Center open last night, and Behavioral Health liaisons fully engaged to work with families and loved ones and work with the victims for that matter that are in the hospital and seeking treatment, and so those things are actively occurring and dealing with each one of the situations separately, and so do we need dna on that or waiting to find a loved one, and some kind of Family Member that we can make a notification, and this is varying across the board. I will take two more questions. Right here. What was the motive . You say triggering ve ing eva motive, but it is clearly something that is important. One additional followup from you. Why this bar or why this town . I think that is speaking to motive so i appreciate the followup, but it is not something that we can be prepared to answer today. Right here, sir. And will these Arrest Warrants be issued today well, reactively searching for him, and if i knew the answers to that, it would be a different Press Conference and we dont know the location, and we will leave it with that, and we are working with the attorney generals with the murder homicide warrants. So, with that, we are going to be take off at this point. Thank you, thank you. All right. There is the latest update and tragic update from all of the officials there. The death toll has now increased. 18 People Killed in two Mass Shootings overnight. One female, and most of them male. One female was killed at the Bowling Alley, and three people transferred to the hospital and died and bringing the total to 18 People Killed and 13 people injured. They do not know where this man is. Now with an Arrest Warrant for eight counts of murder which will be going up obviously, but they dont know where he is, and the manhunt is under way. But clear hly he is a suspec and there is eight counts of murder as they identify the bodies, but ten people they have not been able to identify, and so now the person is now officially a suspect. John mill ser with us, and we have a whole panel of folks to help walk through this. John, what did what did you learn here . Well, what we learned is that they have the resources they need. They have the engagement of every relevant federal agency, every data set, every technology, and they have a investigation that divided into two parts. One is the homicide investigation, why these places, why these people, what is his background, but second, and this is going to be the top priority is the manhunt where they have devoted largest number of people and resources, because it appears that from hitting the two locations and when the commissioner was asked specifically why those places, he said, well, that goes to motive which suggests that it is not stating implicitly, but it is suggesting that he picked the two places for a reason, and some connection either between him and the places or the people. And suggesting they are knowing more than they are saying publicly right now. And an escape to the trailhead and a boat launch, and he knows the area, and he did not make that turn by mistake, and he had a plan and it is to stay at large and not to be captured there, as so many of these shooters are, and it adds another element, and it is not a manhunt within a small area, but it is someone who has the resources and the training to put some distance between them possibly. And jonathan, what did you hear. We learned some new details with the death toll tragically being updated but still some questions left unanswered because the suspect is still on the run. What else were you hearing and what else stuck out to you . Well, listen, a lot of insight during the Press Conference, but not a lot of information that people were really seeking. What we heard as mr. Miller said, a lot of Law Enforcement coordination around the investigation under way and details lacking. It is either by design or they dont have the information or following up on the investigative leads, and they dont want to reveal what the approach and methodology is going to be when they had dress this, but when you are addressing the public, you have to reassure them, and one thing that the community is looking for is if people are safe. We heard limited assurance that the community is safe, but there a large scale of mobilization of state, federal and local addressing situation, but what people want to know is what specific actions are being take epp, ataken and what are they broadly looking for, and is this person in the community or did they flee. And Commissioner Miller pointed out really good that based on the multiple shooters over time and distance and the shooter evaded police shows that there is a more sophisticated level of planning that went into this attack, and more importantly, how this suspect is evading police. We need to understand what are those resources that are being applied by Law Enforcement right now to address this suspect who is now on the run for well over 12 hours. Commissioner harris, will et me bring you in, former Police Commissioner in baltimore, commissioner harrison, what is lingering is the reassurances or more information that is needed really for the public of where exactly is the area that is the search area at this point, and i mean, we know that there is a shelter in place for lewiston, lisbon and bodoin . Thank you for having me, but that is why the state police is leading it, because it is beyond one jurisdiction and multiple jurisdictions and they are searching far beyond lewiston and the entire state and with help outside of the state. So the one thing that i have had to do it many times in two mayor cities. The previous guest was right, to give reassurance, number one, that we are on this. Law enforcement is on it. There is a synchronized effort to find this individual, and we would like the know more about this individual, but the fact that Law Enforcement is synchronizing the efforts and it is coordinated to locate this individual, and this is number one. Yes, reassurance that people are safe, but more importantly in a state of crisis, reassuring people that all of the efforts are synchronized and all of the resources that are available to the president to the governor to mayors and the city managers are all at play here. I think they did a good job of giving the reassurance that they are united. As the time goes on, we will hear more about the details. As i said last night on the show, we talked about the skill and the ability of mr. Card to inflict harm on so many people so fast. I am concerned about his skill and ability to evade police for long periods of time. His ability to anticipate how police would come after him, and his ability to inflict that amount of carnage again if he is faced with an encounter with Law Enforcement, and to have that much ammunition, and to shoot that many rounds that fast, it is possible that he has that much ammunition if not more, and to position himself to have a violent encounter with more, and we have talked about suicide, surrender and or a violent encounter with Law Enforcement, and all of them are plausible and dangerous. So they are all well planned, and if they are too much too fast, because we have to make sure that we are staying in front of the decisions that mr. Card is making. And that seems to be a real challenge now as we are watching and this is playing out, and they do not know, they are saying where he is right now, and question still lingering is how many weapons that he had or even has with him at this point. If everyone can stay with us. We just got in a statement from President Biden on this, and it is a lengthy statement, but he says off of the top, once again, the nation is in mourning after yet another senseless and tragic Mass Shooting. Today, jill and i are praying for the americans who have lost their lives and those in Critical Care and for the families and survivors and Community Members enduring shock and grief. I also urge the area residents to heed the guidance of the local Law Enforcement officials and they are acting with the state and federal officials and as i told the administration to provide everything that is needed to support the people of maine, and we will continue to be there every step of the way. Bottom line, 18 people are dead today after two Mass Shootings last night and a suspect is now still on the run, and they do not know yet where he is. We have to get a quick break in, and we have much more to come. Stay with us. Welcome back. We continue to follow the breaking news out of lewiston, maine, and this is where the mass shooter is still on the louis. It has been 15, 16 hours since the shooting took place and people across multiple cities are sheltering in place. This is what we learned from the maines governor on what she called a dark day in maine. I am profoundly saddened to stand before you today to report that 18 people lost their lives. 13 people injured in last nights attacks. The full weight of my administration is behind Law Enforcements efforts to capture the Person Of Interest robert card, to hold whoever is responsible for this Atrocity Accountable under the full force of state and federal law and to seek full justice for the victims and their families. As you heard there from the governor, the latest update is 18 people were killed in these two Mass Shootings, 13 others wounded. It is truly just in minutes that this played out. Eight of those killed have so far before identified. Eight families now informed. There are victims that the officials have said in this Press Conference that have not yet been identified, and so there are families still waiting to hear the fate of their loved ones. Lets start with shimon prokupiez, and we heard you in the Press Conference, and what more are you hearing . Well, i mean, look, there are questions about this suspect now, his background, and what is going on in this persons life. The Law Enforcement here seems to have this information, and they are investigating it, and they certainly say they dont want to talk about it right now. I mean, that is a key issue here. The gun ownership, what was going on in his life, and the motive here, and you know, it is a Big Questions that still need to be answered. I think that the other thing in all of this is how quickly all of this unfolded. You are talking about a time line, and it still wasnt thorough as it could be and hopefully we will get there with the Law Enforcement, but talking about the first 911 call coming at 6 56 p. M. At the Bowling Alley where people would ultimately be killed, and then at 12 30 at 7 08 p. M. , there are multiple 911 calls from the bar, schemen
