I want to bring in Cnns John Berman in lewiston, maine. John, weve got the Breaking News of loud bangs or explosions heard near the suspects last known address. Maine state police Just Announced parts of the state are going to stay under a shelter in place order. Give us the latest on the manhunt and what youre hearing. Reporter well, the very latest is the situation occurring at the last known address of robert card, this 40yearold suspect. Bowden, maine. Bowdens about ten minutes, 10 miles or so from where i am in lewiston behind me is schemmegees. Bowden is the suspects last known home. Our producer heard bangs, heard loud bangs, heard Someone Shouting fbi. Thats what we know about whats going on there. Its interesting that thats taking place in bowden because most of the activity that weve seen so far today has been just south of that in lisbon. Lisbon, maine. Again, about ten minutes from here about ten minutes south of bowden. Lisbon is where the suspect robert card, where his car was found. His car was found at a boat launch on the androscoggin river. And so far it seems most of the searches today have been in lisbon on your map there. Our Shimon Prokupecz saw s. W. A. T. Teams going into different areas, clearing out areas, going into different areas, clearing them out. So the search is obviously very active in these surrounding towns and they have extended the shelter in place order for lewiston and bowdoin, lisbon. The shelter in place specifically tells people to safeguard their homes and safeguard their cars, their vehicles. The concern is obviously that this suspect, robert card, who is considered Armed And Dangerous with military firearms training, could try to get in to a private residence and hide, could try to take someones car, perhaps while youre in it. That is why authorities want people to be very careful. Were trying to get more information about what exactly is taking place in bowdoin. It is interesting that is the suspects last known address. Its certainly been known to authorities for the last day. Why there would be such intense activity there now some 22 hours later, jake, were waiting to find out. Well make some calls. Well get back to you as soon as we can with that. John, can you tell us any more about the three victims who have been publicly identified . Reporter yeah, three victims that we know of so far among the 18. Brian mcfafarland was 40 years old.

It is known for cornhole games and the Deaf Community would show up there on wednesdays. He was there. He was playing. He had a dog named eminem. His sister was mourning his loss, just called him a sweet, sweet guy. Joseph walker is the son of a City Councilor from auburn, which is next door here. Joseph walker was killed, we are told. There are reports that he tried to go after the suspect as he was shooting with a knife. Walker was killed. His father was reporting that its been excruciating since last Night Waiting For Word on what happened to his son. He did not find out confirmation of his sons death until this afternoon. And Tricia Asselin was 53 years old. She was a parttime employee at justintime at the Bowling Alley, the Recreation Center where the shootings began. She was not at work per se last night. She was actually bowling. She was Bowling Recreationally for herself. And the reports are that she was trying to get to the phone to call 911 to save others as the shooting was taking place when she was gunned down. These are just three of the names that weve confirmed so far. 18 dead in total. As of this morning theyd only identified eight people. So the Identification Process and notification process of these families, jake, is taking some time. All right, john, thank you so much. I want to bring you some new pictures that we have from bowdoin, maine of activity near the suspects address. These are courtesy of wbz. And you can see some Emergency Crews there near the suspects address. When this exactly means as of right now we do not know. But as john suggested, when we get more reporting on what exactly is going on if anything, we will bring that to you at that very moment. Lets take a step back now and look at what officials have said about the suspect, and we will bring that to you right now. He is a member of the u. S. Army reserve. He is a certified firearms instructor. He recently made threats about shooting up a National Guard facility. He was in a Mental Health facility over the summer. Cnns pamela brown has much more on this, on him and the warning signs that officials knew long before this senseless violence happened. Reporter swarms of federal and local officers converge as the manhunt for robert card intensifies. He should be considered Armed And Dangerous. Reporter his background giving a few potential clues about the shooting that left at least 18 dead and more than a dozen injured. His army records show the 40yearold was a Petroleum Supply specialist in the reserves but never served in combat. A former Army Reservist who served with card telling cnn that he is a skilled marksman, an outdoorsman who was among the best shooters in his unit. While he was training in Upstate New York over the summer, card reported Hearing Voices and having thoughts about hurting fellow soldiers, according to Law Enforcement sources. The National Guard saying he was, quote, behaving erratically, and he was transported to a hospital at the u. S. Military academy for medical evaluation. His family telling cnn he did not have a long history of Mental Health issues. Quote, this is something that was an acute episode. This is not who he is. His sisterinlaw said, quote, this is a good family. On his twitter page card liked rightwing posts including by tucker carlson, donald trump jr. , republican members of congress and multiple posts criticizing President Biden on the economy. His social media also shows photos of him fishing. The coast guard is also part of the search. Cards vehicle was found at a boat ramp less than 20 miles from the shooting scene and Public Records show he owned a boat. According to another former soldier who served with card, he had extensive training including land navigation. Quote, so he would be very comfortable in the woods. The shooting was in lewiston, cards most recent address is in a rural area of a nearby town called bowdoin according to Public Records. Which also show that his family owns a series of properties nearby. Law enforcement sources say card recently split up with a longtime girlfriend and theyre pursuing a theory that he allegedly targeted the Bowling Alley and bar because he used to go there with her and was supposed to be at the bar that night. Based on our investigation, we believe this is someone that should not be approached. Reporter cards brother telling cnn they are trying to reach him, urging him to surrender. Quote, we have helped Law Enforcement in any way possible, and the police have been given anything that we can offer to facilitate their efforts. And the brother of the suspect also told me, quote, this is many peoples worst nightmare. Indeed it is, jake. And one of the big important questions outstanding tonight is how he was able to get access to his weapons and carry this out after showing those signs oaf the summer, going to that Mental Health clinic, being evaluated. We know he was released from that clinic after a few weeks and then was able to gain access again to his legally possessed multiple weapons. Maine, as we know, jake, does not have a red flag law, which would allow Family Members to get a court order to prevent him or a Family Member from having access to weapons in times of crisis. So theres a lot of questions. Ive reached out to that clinic. Still waiting to hear back, jake. Pamela brown, thank you so much. Lets bring in cnn security correspondent josh campbell. Josh, you worked at the fbi. What do you make of this reporting from the scene of the suspects last known address, the loud bangs, Someone Shouting fbi into a megaphone . What might be happening . Reporter well, you know, theres obviously a lot, jake, we dont know at this hour. But oftentimes we look at images like were seeing right now and try to glean information based on the posture of Law Enforcement. Here it doesnt look like an emergent type situation. You have officers that are standing out there. Theyre not seeking cover. There doesnt appear to be a flurry of activity. So we just dont know at this time. It would not be unusual in a situation like this where you have someone who is very proficient with firearms, who we know he was a firearms instructor, if authorities are going to search his residence as a precautionary measure you can imagine in order to perhaps defeat any booby traps and the like they might launch what are called flash bangs, and thats obviously weve seen those before in incidents. That would help try to set off any type of booby trap if that was the case. And then on the bullhorn if youre calling this person out, that could just be precautionary, just to see if theres anyone there before they actually do go in to do a search. I would imagine that knowing what we do, weve known the address of this individual for some time, so certainly Haw Enforcement would know the same. Weve seen in instances where they will set up surveillance on particular addresses that are associated with an individual when theres a manhunt going on. So id be surprised if this was the first time that Law Enforcement was there, but at this hour we just dont know. But based on these images you dont see officers rushing in. But obviously well be watching to see what that activity is all about. Yeah. I have to say it looks like a fairly mellow scene outside. Not the kind of scene you would think if there were something intense going on inside. What kinds of nooekz do you think the fbis using right now to try and figure out the suspects location . Obviously theyre trying to track his cell phone, assuming he still has it and assuming he still has it on. Reporter you know, i spoke with a Law Enforcement official earlier today and the fbi has launched this massive deployment of resources into maine. Were talking about numerous resources. As you mentioned, the cellular phone tracking technology. The fbi has a team. Its called the cast team. Their job is to exploit cellular telephone networks. Twofold. They would be looking at drel lar phone towers in and around the region. If that Cell Phone Registers with a nearby tower, that can give them data on where he might be. They also have this device called a cell site simulator. That is a contraption that the fbi uses with a court order that mimics a cell phone tower. So if they have an area that they believe he might be in, that device will connect to that phone. That will help them home in. Thats just one of a multitude of resources that they brought in, jake. Josh campbell, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Again, the Breaking News this hour, loud bangs heard near the suspects last known home in maine as this manhunt continues. Next were going to talk about the Gun Laws In The State Of Maine and whether anything could have been done to deny the suspect access to firearms given his previous hospitalization for Hearing Voices and wanting to kill peoeople. I said it before, only in the United States would an Anchor Standing in a war zone have to go back to the United States for the Breaking News because theres something more violent happening there. Breaking news in our national lead. At least 18 are dead. 13 injured. After two Mass Shootings in maine. The suspect, still on the loose, is a guy named robert card, a suspected killer. We know he was Com Mifted CommiMental Health facility over the summer for two weeks and he had made threats to attack a National Guard facility in the state of maine. Maines gun laws do require courts to report any courtordered involuntary commitment to the department of public safety. Maine does not have whats called a red flag law. It has whats called a socalled yellow flag law, which indicates that a firearm can, can be tempo temporarily removed from someone if theyre deemed by both a judge and a medical professional to be a threat to themselves or others. Margaret groban is a retired federal prosecutor and she is an expert in firearms regulation. And shes now a Law Professor at the university of maine school of law. Professor, thanks so much for joining us. So knowing maines existing gun laws and the suspects history, what went wrong here . Because it does seem as though the yellow flag law should have been enacted and he shouldnt have had firearms. Well, thanks for having me on. There are a couple of things here. The first is theres a federal firearm ban. And we dont really have enough information yet. But if card had been involuntarily committed to the Mental Hospital in new york then he would be subject to a federal permanent ban on possession of firearms. And that would have been entered into the brady Background Check System so that if he tried to buy a gun from a federal licensee in maine he would have been prohibited from doing so. But because maine does not have universal background checks, if he were prohibited he could have gone to any slot guide or private sale and he could have bought a firearm. As far as the yellow flag law goes youre right, we do not have a red flag law. We have an inadequate substitute which is yellow flag. And that has to be initiated by someone calling the police. So you mentioned two people who have to find hes a danger. In fact, its three steps. First, Law Enforcement has to be called, and you cannot initiate it without contacting Law Enforcement. Law enforcement has determined someone is a danger to themselves or others. Then they take the person into protective custody. Then a Mental Health professional has to make that same determination. And then a judge would have to make that same determination before firearms could be taken away. So he was a firearms instructor. Right . So if he was adjudicated mentally ill, involuntarily o
