A manhunt for a known Person Of Interest. An Eyewitness Account of how it all went down. We were inside and normal Night Bowling and out of nowhere he came in and there was a loud pop. Thought it was a balloon. Im numb. I cant believe this happened around here. Its a quiet town. Down the lane, i slid basically into where the pins are and climbed up in the machine and on top of the machines for ten minutes until the cops got there. Dana police urge people stay inside while they search for 40yearold robert card, a Firearms Instructor trained by the military with a recent history of being treated for mental illness. Welcome to a new hour of americas newsroom, im dana perino. Bill heavy day today. Bill hemmer. Good morning at home. Intense largescale manhunt underway. The entire county is on lockdown. Dozens of schools are closed for good reason. Residents in a number of towns are told to shelter in place after the Mass Shooting in the town of lewiston, maine, a college town 35 miles north of portland, population about 36,000. As many as 22 said to be killed and dozens more injured. Police discovered a vehicle they believe belonged to the suspect near a boat launch belonging to the suspect. The suspect is robert card age 40. The sole Person Of Interest is a certified Firearms Instructor in the u. S. Army. David spunt has reaction from the white house and also watching the f. B. I. From d. O. J. With us today. Retired nypd Lieutenant Has expert analysis. We begin back there in maine nearby. For that here is molly line. Good morning again, molly. Good morning, bill and dana. You mentioned the Law Enforcement are urging people to stay inside and safe and turn on tvs, to get to social media and tune into websites to listen to the Press Conference slated to start in a half hour. They appeal to the public for any information they may have about this Person Of Interest. If you know something about robert card or the unfolding violence from last night at the two different locations at the Bowling Alley as well as the bar, restaurant, pool hall, investigators want to hear about it. More than 100 investigators local and federal on the hunt for card right now. Particularly active in the lisbon area where the car was found, of course, there are road shutdown, a wooded area. But decent weather to deal with. More information about card. Internal Law Enforcement say he is a Firearms Instructor, Hearing Voices and over the summer had been committed and received Mental Healthcare for a period of weeks. Here is how everything unfolded and even this morning Early Morning hours we saw the Maine State PoliceRolling Down The Street and there at the site where things unfolded, it began at 6 56 p. M. Yesterday evening, shy of 7 00 when Police Responded to the shooting incidents at the Bowling Alley and bar. After that the active shooter situation was declared. Officials warned residents to avoid the area but soon that shelter in place order was put out. Finally Lewiston Police at 11 00 last night identified robert card. As for the car in the lisbon area, as you mentioned, bill, it has been linked to this investigation and it is worth noting that tough terrain all around in that region. Once again were waiting for the presser. Now less than 30 minutes away. Hopefully it starts on time. A lot of people are waiting for information and a lot of broken hearts today. Bill well done, molly. Back to you momentarily. Give our viewers is sense of the geography. Just to Tie Everything together now. Portland is the biggest town and lewiston is second largest population 37,000. It is not big but for Maine Standards it is considered a larger town here. This is let me go to a different map and ill take you through this. This is the Bowling Alley molly was describing. Sometimes around 7 00 area here is where the first area that was hit. You can see the Police Department down here . The police get this call. They report to the Bowling Alley based on the reporting we have gotten at 7 15 local tiMe Last Night. If i advance this one time here is the bolling alley and here is the Police Department and the bar and grill that was hit after that. How many victims there . We havent been told. Maybe coming up in the Press Conference at 10 30 we find that out. You can travel four miles on the distance here and you can get there in ten minutes or less. If its 7 00 at night maybe less traffic on the road and you can fly by on these roads. You see this river that snakes its way through this area . Its the Andrew Skagen river like the county. The reason we point that out is because here is the bar and grill and this is lisbon, maine. We were with the police chief last hour. He was on that street with a number of reporters in lisbon. This is roughly eight miles from the bar and grill down to where they believe they found the white subaru at 11 20 local time. There is a period of fifer hours, 7 00 to 11 20 where it went down. Where he is now we dont know. Maybe we get an answer shortly. Dana thanks for that. Joining us for more is retired nypd lieutenant. One of the things that immediately people think about when police find the car next to the boat launch, doesnt necessarily mean he left on a boat, maybe it is a ruse. If he left by boat, what then . He knows the area better than anybody else. You have the local police and try to Tie Everything in with his whereabouts right now . If he had a boat and went up the river where is the boat now . Im sure theyre searching the river. Everything is up to the imagination right now. The only thing they can do is prepare for any scenario that might happen in that area. The residents are going to be key with this. The residents people that may know him. He might be a loner. Dealing with the unknown happens all the time in cases but in this particular case you have an individual that is extremely dangerous as he has proven and he is wellversed with the use of that weapon. Bill there are some reports about some of the victims being identified. Well wait for further confirmation from the police before we go with that. Why the hesitation to put more information out there publicly . The reason i ask you, we were talking from a police chief who used to work in portland last hour and he said it runs counter to what i did as police chief. In detroit and cincinnati and portland. He wanted to get all the information out there to let the Community Know and a Neighborhood Community to help them. Why would there be this 12 hour, 14 hour delay . Thats the Police Chiefs call. The one running the case. They must have a reason for it. I hope so. You want to get as much information out there as possible in this case. Somebody will say i remember him doing this. Who knows, maybe he was tracing the route you just described over there and been running that route and the scenario over in his head until he committed the act he wanted to commit. Getting the information out there is crucial. Maybe they have someone they are speaking to and have to be careful. Then this person will know where information is coming from. Dana paul mauro was on earlier talking about what other kind of Information Police will want to try to get. Watch here. They will want to get into his phones, his computer applications. They will want to see does he have another phone . They want to look at his finances. What they are trying to do at the same time all the teams are out there working forward they wants to try to understand this guy to try to get a clue as to where he could be. Dana do you think they will be able to get into the phones and computers today . Theyll get into them immediately. Get as much information as possible. Paul is right theyll backtrack. Thats all they have until somebody comes out and says i didnt think it was important before but he said something of this nature. Somebody may have been hunting with him or fishing in the area and knows the area he is going to. Local community is crucial combined with the knowledge they get from the phones, computer if he has it. Maybe find a manifest or something. Im more concerned he was in a facility for two weeks and nothing surfaced from that. Thats my biggest concern right now. Bill why is that now . I feel the hipaa laws and everything need to take them to another level when you have an individual like this. If they knew he was in the army, proficient with firearms and presented a danger to himself by Hearing Voices why not put him on the radar with the police who at that time can take their action and remove weapons from him . Bill that will be the heart of a lot of questions coming up in 20 minutes. Joe, thank you for your time. Bring in shanna cox, the president of the Lewiston Chamber of commerce. Our hearts go out to you and the people in your community this hour today. God bless you all. What can you tell us about what you are hearing from your neighbors . This is a Close Knit Community, people here are connected to the nurses at the hospital, the First Responders, and the ambulances and Police Department. There is a lot of communication among our community. Folks are still sheltered in place. You can see im working remotely today. Were caring for families and making sure everyone is accounted for. That communication isout going. There isnt a list of those injured and released. Still Question Marks particularly with a Person Of Interest still at large. There is a lot of concern. A heightened fear and a deep desire to act and respond, which is challenging when were in lockdown still. Dana two days ago there was a headline that new f. B. I. Data showed maine had the lowest Violent Crime rate in the usa. Tell us about the character of your great small town 37,000 people there. Yeah. Were a safe community. A tight Knit Community that looks out for each other. We have had to respond to tragedy previously in our communitys history and were resilient. We always respond quickly and with strength and with care across different faiths and across our community. This is shaking us to our core, as you can well imagine. I dont think any community the victim of a Mass Shooting is prepared for it. Bill totally agree with you. You are exactly right. Has the name robert card ever come up, age 40 . Anybody know him or talked about him . No. From what i understand this gentleman was located and lived in bowdoin. Im not aware of business connections. Most of us are trying to understand the tragedy and know its hard. Bill have you been to this Bowling Alley . Spare time, they are good people who rescued that Bowling Alley from closing a number of years ago. Family sent rick place and people hold work parties and family birthday parties. It was a Family League night last night. The restaurant is a Family Location that offers dart and pool leagues. Both of these are heart of our Blue Collar Community location and our thoughts are with their staff and owners and the families of their employees that have been affected. Dana thank you so much for being with us and we pray for everyone there and the community that you help lead. Thank you so much. Bill hang tough. Dana were waiting for the Press Conference. Smoke rising over gaza, you can see it. There is word now overnight there were there was an incursion with some tanks into gaza as the Brigadier General that we had on just a little while ago said this is to help prepare the battlefield. Bill were balancing two major stories right now. Global significance in the middle east and National Significance in the state of maine. Were getting ready for this briefing. The governor will be there, janet mills. Police chief will be there and perhaps many others to give us our first glimpse of new information or any information as to what went down last night and where we are now in this investigation. Local, state, federal Law Enforcement conducting the massive manhunt said to be a person of 40 from the state of maine. Armed and dangerous. Perhaps a plan to get away that has never been more true.

Six years ago it named it One Of The Best places to retire and talked about the cost of living below the National Average and the number of physicians per capita who live in the area and open air in the state of maine. That was then six years ago. Now what were dealing with today is a lot of questions as who this killer is. Now the Person Of Interest has been described as Sergeant First Class robert card ii. Listed in the army. He was with the Petroleum Supply army reserve. Enlisted in december of 2002. So that is a long time. Has no combat deployments. He has a number of awards, army achievement, army humanitarian medal. Army service ribbon. So the army was a big part of this mans life. Dana lewiston is a town of 37,000 people. A Close Knit Community and when you have 22 dead and many more injured, that means a lot of people in this community will be affected by this. It will take them a long time to deal with the grief theyll go through. Bill maybe forever. F. B. I. Is involved. David spunt is tracking that live in washington. What have you found out .
