Night of bowling and he just came in and there was a loud pop. Ive had all my friends on the phone with me to make sure they are safe. I believe it, i know its real. I dont want to believe it, you know. To see People Killed like that, especially children. What are the things they are looking to do, get into his phones, his computer applications. The full weight of my administration is behind Law Enforcements efforts to capture the person of interest, robert card. A live look at the scene in lewiston, maine, police and the fbi are searching for the gunman suspected of killing 18 people, Deadliest Mass Shooting in the United States this year. John, hello to you. John tragic news and obviously a lot of concern in the community. John roberts in washington, america reports. Residents of maines second largest city and neighboring areas have been urged to shelterinplace and keep their doors locked as the sole suspect, 40yearold robert card remains on the loose at this hour. Horrifying rampage beginning around 7 00 last night, a gunman was scene entering a busy Bowling Alley and killing seven people before heading four miles away to a local restaurant and shooting at diners there. Sandra horrific, every minute of it. Police say they consider card, trained in firearms as an instructor and army veteran as armed and dangerous. And likely still, they believe, possesses a large amount of ammunition. John Nicole Parker standing by authorities did not give specifics but did provide more information about the victims. You mentioned, 18 People Killed, actually lower than was previously reported, and we learned more about how it happened where police say card walked into a local establishment, a Bowling Alley at 6 56, and murdered seven people. They then say just 12 minutes later he murdered eight people at a billiards bar and restaurant, three others who were taken to the hospital later died which brings you to the total of 18 People Killed and three of the 13 killed in critical condition. But some of the victims have not been identified. Listen to the Press Conference moments ago. Ten people, ten of these victims still need to be identified at this time. Currently there is an Arrest Warrant for eight counts of murder for mr. Card. And the reason its eight counts, because ten people have not yet been identified. As those people are identified, the counts will probably go to the total of 18. You mentioned, john. Card is considered armed and dangerous. Hes a Petroleum Supply specialist in the army reserve. Didnt have any combat deployments, but does have a documented history of Mental Health issues. Recently made threats to shoot up a National Guard base in maine, had heard voices or complained about Hearing Voices and admitted to a Mental Health facility for a couple weeks. As recently as this summer and because of what happened last night, hes also a trained firearm instructor, this is a very, very dangerous man right now and because of that where we are right now in lewiston, maine, its a ghost town, john. Pretty much just see media, as well as Law Enforcement out. Most businesses are closed, schools in the area are closed down. Cards vehicle was found in lisbon, one of the towns with a shelterinplace order right now. Authorities say they have scattered their resources around maine right now as they have multiple different pieces of information and evidence coming in. But they did not provide a whole lot of clarity of a search perimeter, the governor expressed her sorrow at the tragic loss of life, saying a long time to recover and heal from this but the entire state of maine will do it together. Back to you. John clearly a dangerous situation ongoing there, nate, thank you. Sandra. Sandra former fbi special agent Nicole Parker. How do you find a suspect like this, nicole . Sandra, this is a very complex situation. This is very atypical of a mass casualty, typically the shooter is apprehended or commits suicide. The fact he is still on the loose, you know, now youve got two complex crime scenes, the Bowling Alley and the bar and also have a fullon manhunt. And i first of all would like to thank Law Enforcement, First Responders and those in the medical community who have aided these individuals. This is a very, very difficult situation for this small community. And theres Different Things that Law Enforcement is looking at right now. Obviously, you know, they want to understand the motive. The first goal is apprehension and keep the community safe. For those in the area, you need to continue to shelterinplace. Its a long process, its been 17, 18 hours, but the key is to stay where you are. If you see anything odd or off, you need to contact Law Enforcement. Make sure that your doors, your windows, your garages, your sheds, any vehicles are locked and secured. Sandra as far as what we know about the suspect, nicole, how will that play a part in how they find him. We know according to maine Law Enforcement hes an army reservist, stationed out of maine. He is a trained firearms instructor, recently reported Mental Health issues, nicole. Reportedly threatened to shoot up a National Guard base. This is clearly someone who had some red flags along the way. Oh, absolutely. Youve got red flags going off every possible way. The tragedy of this is that this never ever should have happened. I dont know how this slipped through the cracks but that will definitely be determined at a later point. Right now they need to, you know, the goal is safe apprehension. We did not want this individual taking hostages, dont want anyone else getting hurt. If any Family Members are in communication with him, he needs to report himself to Law Enforcement. It is a very thorough investigation thats going on and obviously Law Enforcement behind the scenes is going to be doing the obvious. Scrubbing the social media accounts, going through text messages, serving search warrants, you know, looking at his, you know, Search Online through google, anything electronic and digital footprint looked at closely. Whats interesting, he ditched the vehicle by the boat dock area. Im not sure of the year of the vehicle but if was around a 2017 or more recent, those kas have infotainment systems. Maybe he ditched the phone. But if he charged it in the car, there could be a lot of information, and i would assume Law Enforcement and fbi have removed that to see what they can look at. Gps information, mapping information, potential text messages, contacts, anything he potentially had in the phone could be downloaded on to the infotainment system. Dont underestimate what Law Enforcement has there are things they are doing we do not know about and are purposely not showing all information because they dont want to tip off the individual. The suspect would be like we said be on Police Radios or, you know, watching the media. They are keeping it tight but also keeping the citizens aware. Sandra a lot of concerns for the victims and families, those that died and those that survived, and the Maine Medical Center provided an update on the victims. Public safety commissioner talking about how difficult this will be for them. Listen. We do have Behavioral Health liaisons to work with families and victims in the hospital seeking treatment. Those things are actively occurring. Sandra brutal, brutal time for so many. While this manhunt is ongoing. We know the police have put up the number, extension there, saying anyone, anyone with tips call in the police tip hotline on the screen for our viewers there, and nicole, thats going to be a huge part of the minutes and hours ahead for them to track this person down. What is your message to those shelteringinplace right now. They have been inside a long time. Harder and harder the longer this goes on, until they lift the shelterinplace order. Whats your message . Stay calm, and be patient. Law enforcement is doing everything that they can, and their number one priority is your safety. Your safety matters most right now and we do not want anyone else to get injured. There have been 18 fatalities, multiple injuries. Its difficult, but please, continue to shelterinplace and if you see anything that seems off, report it to Law Enforcement. If for any reason you think you may have contact with the subject, you contact 911 immediately. You know, you cannot understate how important it is to continue to shelterinplace until Law Enforcement directs you otherwise. Sandra Nicole Parker, you are an incredibly valuable asset to us. Thank you very much for coming on and we will be watching every minute of this as we await another update. Thank you, nicole. Thank you. John sandra, we are also awaiting a White House Press briefing any moment now with the National Security Council Spokesperson john kirby. Press secretary Karine Jeanpierre after there was a raid in the gaza strip. And State Department this hour by the way. Fox Team Coverage with greg palkot reporting on connections between iran and hezbollah. But first, live to trey yingst, live on the ground in southern israel as he has been since this began. How significant was the overnight operation into gaza by the idf, trey . It was very significant. Breaking news, appears to be some firefight along the eastern border between gaza and israel. Large burst of gunfire, tracer rounds, drone overhead and fighter jet targeting a specific position behind me. This does come after the israelis conducted a surgical airstrike, the target, the Deputy Intelligence Commander for the entirety of hamas, we are also learning three other top hamas officials were killed in israeli airstrikes today. Tonight you have the countrys Defense Minister speaking about the israeli efforts and what they are trying to do inside gaza, making it clear the number one enemy is hamas and the goal to completely describe the organization. Describing it as us versus them. And some video of Inside Gaza Last Night as the israelis conducted a raid in the nighttime hours. Used d9 bulldozers and infantry troops and entered the gaza strip with one thing i think mind, destroy many cells along the border and according to the israeli military, they were successful in doing that. They say they took out a number of hamas cells and antitank Guided Missile positions. You can see inside the gaza strip, this video from the city, shows the aftermath of the israeli strikes that continued tonight. Over the past 24 hours, 250 different strikes along gaza and we do expect that number to rise, Israeli Air Force trying to clear a path for the eventual ground operation. John. John trey yingst in the southern part of israel as the action continues. Thank you. Sandra wildfires started by gunfire breaking out in Southern Lebanon as clashes between the idf and hezbollah intensify. It comes as iranian Terror Proxies escalate threats against the u. S. And allies in the region. Greg palkot is live in northern israel. What can you tell us at this hour . The latest we heard were small arms fire, not too far away from us, we are against the israellebanon border. Escalating, and the last 24 hours, four hezbollah rockets were fired not far from us, got ten Return Blasts from nearby israeli artillery. Both sides have been keeping the scrimmages basically near the border, but there are reports of israel launching fighter jet and drone strikes deeper into lebanon as the toll grows. 46 hezbollah fighters killed in the last two weeks, at least six Israeli Soldiers along with civilian casualties. A very telling picture just released, a meeting in beirut, lebanon, between a top hamas official, leader of another militant group and the head of hezbollah. Behind them, pictures of past and present leaders, and benefactor, iran. Benny gantz in the israel war cabinet said about the fight with hezbollah. The idf have a thick and very strong shield along the entire northern border on all its fronts. There are significant casualties to hezbollah. I suggest to our enemy not to get confused. Our power is tremendous, ready to launch and they better beware. Again, sandra, its not a full scale war but the scrimmages are deadly and tying up Tens Of Thousands of Israeli Soldiers in this region, and forcing now estimated about 200,000 civilians to flee on both sides of the border. Trouble brewing. Back to you. Sandra greg palkot there for us on the israellebanon border. Thank you so much. History Iran Nuclear Deal we negotiated blocked iran from gaining nuclear weapons. If tehran returns to compliance with the deal i would rejoin the agreement. They said we are prepared to reengage in negotiations with the p5 plus 1 on Irans Nuclear program. John both a candidate and while in office, President Biden has promised to restore the Obama Administration controversial Nuclear Agreement with iran, but critics are pointing out, 2015 deal which freed up millions in assets allowed tehran to fund Terror Groups that have destabilized the middle east. Lindsey graham just returned from a Bipartisan Senate delegation to israel. Senator, i missed you, i was on the way out as you were on the way in. Sorry about that, yeah. John good to see you saw whats going on on the ground there. The previous live the Obama Administration, seemed to bend over backwards to appease iran and now that is coming back to bite them in a very sensitive spot. What do you say . Yeah, i mean, to reengage iran now on a nuclear deal would be insane. The Biden Administration has misjudged the iranians. They are not trying to build a Peaceful Nuclear program, they are trying to build a bomb. Trump had them in a quarter, had them diminished, biden came in and right quickly gave them billions of dollars, increased their ability to kill israelis and us. So it was a bad idea to give the ayatollah any money. He is a religious nazi. If he had a bomb, he would use it. John we have whats going on in israel and iran backing hamas, and lebanon, iran backing hezbollah and then syria and in iraq. I want to put up this graphic on the screen here about attacks against american interests in the region, these are being conducted by other iranian proxies, at the garrison, air base, Baghdad International airport, at least 13 attacks against american interests in the middle east. More than a couple dozen americans injured, one died from a Heart Attack Running to a bomb shelter, and here is what biden said yesterday with the australian Prime Minister to iran. My warning to the ayatollah was that if they continued to move against those troops we will respond. And he should be prepared. John he says if the ayatollah moves against the troops we will respond. They have already moved against these troops. Why arent we responding . Well, its just this we have lost deterrence. Trump had iran afraid of america. Now we seem to be afraid of the iranians. Nothing is happening without iranian support. This action by hamas was to stop the Reconciliation Process between saudi arabia and israel, which is a nightmare for iran. None of these proxies in syria and iraq could survive without iran. I would tell the iranian, one more attack on american troops and syria and iraq, we are coming after you. If hezbollah goes into the north to create a second front in israel, we are coming after you, starting with your oil fields. If they believe that, they would not do this. John the same time, now we have reporting in the Wall Street Journal from yesterday that some 500 Hamas Terrorists were in iran and also Palestinian Islamic jihad, training with a force of the Islamic Revolutionary guard core. A rear admiral from the idf said before the war iran directly assisted hamas with money, traini
