Card is now formally a suspect, he has been charged with eight counts of murder. One for each of the victims identified by police so far. As Police Identify more of the victims, we anticipate the number of charges will rise. Tonight, authorities reiterated that card is still at large. And the man hunt is continuing by air, land, nc. In the last hour, there is been significant Law Enforcement presence near a home in bowden, maine, in connection to their search for robert card. According to the nbc affiliate, a Search Warrant was executed at that home earlier today. It is Standard Practice to search any property affiliated with a suspect, and Law Enforcement officials tell nbc news that, as of right now, there is no clear indication that card is in that home. Or at any specific address. You are looking at live footage of this police searched near that bowden home, or shortly after seven pm, eastern, our nbc news affiliate reported police saying, robert come out with your hands up. Mean state police say that sort of Loudspeaker Announcement is standard procedure when executing a Search Warrant. Law enforcement is still urging anyone with knowledge of cards where boats to contact them at the number you see weight on your screen. This is still very much alive story. We are following the ongoing manhunt and we are going to bring you the latest news on that front as we have it. But we start this evening with some clarity about what happened last night. Last evening, at 6 56 pm, Police Received the first 911 call notifying them that a man had walked into the just in Time Recreation Center and Bowling Alley and had begun shooting. Here is how a witness inside the Bowling Alley described that moment. We were inside. Normal night of bowling. He just came in, a loud pop. I was, bowling had my back turned to the door. As soon as i turned and saw, there was not a balloon, holding a weapon. I booked it. Down the lane, i slid basically into where the pins are, and climbed up the machine. On top of the machines for ten minutes until the cops got there. Nbc has not independently confirmed this. Another lewiston resident told associated press, wednesday nights practice night for a youth bowling league. He told the ap, he and his son normally attend that evening, but they did not last night. My son is 15 years old. Hes in the lewiston on youth bowling league. Wednesday nights practice for the children. So, normally we go. This time, we decided to skip it on a whim i guess. It turned out, possibly to be a lifesaving situation. My brother is, you help from the lead. From what i hear, he was on the side where the shooter was not. So, he was able to shepherds him kids out. At the just in time bowlingdead alley. 12 minutes after the first alley, Police Received multiple calls that a man had me into a local bar, shipping geese bar, and ben shooting. Its a ten minute drive from the Bowling Alley, the shooter appears to have been moving very quickly. Last night was industry night at the bar. If you were to the bar, or the restaurant industry, youve got 85 off your bill. The bar was also hosting a corn whole tournament, organized by the american death corn hole players association. That group was together deaf heart, of hearing, and a child of deaf adults only beanbag toss tournaments. The borough hosts won every wednesday night. Ultimately, eight individuals were found dead at the bar. Another three individuals were pronounced dead later at area hospitals. There are still eight patients at the Central Maine Medical Center tonight, five are in stable condition, three are in critical condition. Police still do not know of a motive in these shootings, nbc news spoke with a suspect sister in law, katie card. She said that cover robert card, began to hear voices a couple of months ago, when he started using high powered hearing aids. Voices, she said, karen believed were saying horrible things about him. Again, nbc news has not independently confirmed this detail, the daily beast also spoke with katie card. She told them that robert card specifically insisted that he heard voices bashing him at the just in time recreation Bowling Alley and at smoggys bar. What we know about the suspect so far, card is 40 years old, he is a firearms instructor, he is a long time Army Reservist. The Unofficial Department of defense tells nbc news, this july, leaders of Cards Reservist unit informed their superiors that robert card was behaving erratically. Out of concern for his safety, the unit requested that Law Enforcement be contacted. To senior Law Enforcement officials tell nbc news, card was this then sent by his Military Unit Commanders to a Mental Health facility for two weeks before being released. For senior Law Enforcement officials also told nbc news tonight, a note was found by investigators in robert cards home. Abc news is reporting, the note is being described as a suicide note, addressed to the suspect on, but nbc news has not yet confirmed this. As i said, this is still very much an ongoing situation. Tonight, Public Schools in the area, bates college, along with county, in northern saginaw county, are all still under shelter in place orders. The man hunt for robert card is very much underway. Last night at 9 56 pm, the police found cards weight subaru, abandoned at a boat launch in nearby lisbon, maine. Two sources from there with the matter tell nbc news, a gun was found in the car. Officials are still investigating whether that gun is the weapon used in the massacres yesterday. More than 350 local and federal Law Enforcement officers are actively searching for the suspect, robert card, this evening. That includes sea and Air Search Teams from the coast guard, because of the potential that card could be fleeing by boat. The Police Standoff we are monitoring out of bowdoin, maine. Again, a reporter with our nbc Affiliate Station heard police say, robert, come out with your hands up. Again, we do not know for certain that card is in this house, this is all still unfolding as we speak. Joining me now from on the ground in bowdoin, maine. Nbc news correspondent george soliz. George, thank you for joining me tonight. Can tells any more about what is happening in or around that house in bowdoin, maine, the subject of so much interest . Yeah, good evening, alex. Certainly, a mass exodus of police is what we saw within the last five or ten minutes or so after the large caravan of authorities left what was left was a swat unit parked where its now just essentially a black hole. Avoid over there. You saw some officers on foot with flashlights, canvassing this property. Massive here. Right now, we really just have is a large presence of media that was here during that giant influx of attention that arose here at the property, when you have the helicopter circling. You had the drones here around the property. You heard those call of robert, we have you surround it. Camilla grant up. As you mentioned, all pretty standup it comes to those Search Warrants. Now the question becomes, have authorities learned of a new location . Is there any other reason for them to come back to this property as they did more than once . So, these are the questions, as you mentioned, at home here, they did find a note. And we see still working to verify the content of that note. You mentioned what was found in the car, that subaru that was found in lisbon, a town about 20 or so minutes from here. Authorities are still working to verify whether that gun may have been used in that mass shooting. At this moment, the question still remains, where is robert card tonight . Could he still be in this area . Is he in this town, and one of the adjoining towns . Is it even within state lines . Again for a while theyre, it seemed like the attention was heavily focused here in bowdoin. Still have the helicopter, even after all of the cops left. Now, it is quiet. Still pitch black out here, authorities were telling us to keep our lights down as they were in this neighborhood, in this area. My colleague, sam brock, was here, saying that the property here that they own is hundreds of acres belonging to robert cards family here. You mentioned some of the reports from the family, obviously, of concern. As it relates to his Mental Health. I myself have been in the adjoining towns today. Talking to residents, people who are impacted by the shutdown. I spoke with a mother today in lisbon, where that car was found, who was carrying a weapon today. Out in the open. She said, if, he heaven forbid, appeared out of nowhere, she wanted to make sure she could protect her child. That is just some of the context of what were dealing with around here. We were outside of the hospital today, you mentioned, still people recovering outside of their. You saw officers with long guns as medical personnel were fluctuating in and out. We know a lot of medical personnel have been in that hospital, helping the people that were injured in this shooting. Earlier today, i spoke with the relative of someone who died in that bowling ali. A man identified as bill young, his son also died about 14 years old, chris young dying in that Bowling Alley. The family, of course, inconsolable tonight. As they learned, excuse, Me Erin Young was the young mans name. Inconsolable tonight. After learning they were among the victims. At one point, they had no idea. Theyre trying to get in touch with him. And they couldnt. They said the last known location of that Cell Phone Pinged at that Bowling Alley. They were calling. Desperately. Checking the hospitals. Checking that reunification center. To no avail. So, they waited, they waited, until finally, where did come down from authorities, they were unfortunately among the deceased. So, obviously, as daybreak comes, there will be more stories of survivors, more stories of the deceased. It is just weighing so avidly on this town. At the end of, it is about the people here. The communities that have been impacted. They are so close knit here, weve been saying this today, a lot. This state is not see this type of mass casualty. Last year alone, maine reported 29 murders. Here, you have 18 in one night. A lot of people still coming to terms with what happened in this community. Again, when you see these pockets of police activity, potentially zeroing in on this suspect, people pay attention. People are hoping that this is the resolution. But at this hour, alex, the man hunt, this intensive manhunt, is still continuing. George solis, thank you for the great boarding. Do stay safe. I want to turn now to our nbc news correspondent for investigations, tom winter. Tom, thanks for being here. Just to close the loop on this house in bowdoin, maine. The loudspeaker saying, robert, come out. It had a lot of people hopeful that this was the end of this 24 hours of terror. It sounds like that was Standard Operating Procedure for Law Enforcement. Standard operating procedure. What they want to do, they want to give whoevers in that house an opportunity, one, to make themselves known. So, nobody shows anything, or flashes anything that could be misconstrued. First thing. Second thing, if he is inside that home. It gives them an opportunity to come out, hey, were here. Dont want to problem. Come out of the house. Lets end this. But all of the homes, according to our reporting, and im gonna fold in here through the next couple of minutes that we speak, one of my colleague jonathan candle in, in andrew talking to a number of Law Enforcement officials, briefed on this. Have direct knowledge of the matter. There is no indication that hes inside that particular home. That weve been talking about. The georgias been talking about. Theres no indication that hes necessarily in that area specifically. But as they go from house to house, they like to come back from time to time, and try to identify, is there anywhere we didnt search . Is there a particular storage shed . As you can imagine, it may. You can have a snow blower. Youre gonna have winter. Youre atvs. You have all your stuff. Are there any places in these properties you should give a second look. Double back at all . These are properties that are known to him. We know that. Thats the reason why theyre doing with doing. To georgias point about the lights being down, certain technical capabilities that Law Enforcement is going to use in the situations. So, the fewer lights that are on from our perspective, the better for laws forsman. Its a massive search underway. Yet, based on the pointed interest in the last hour, it appears to have not actually amounted to much. It is owns apprehending the suspect. Other anymore reasons need to be allocated here. Give us a sense of the scope of this investigation. And whether Law Enforcement thinks its adequate . Sure. From a standpoint of whats happening, it may feel like much not much is happening. Theres a lot of things theyve got to check off. Two Different Things that are going on. Lost person theory, which is used to try to determine, okay, we know the individuals of a certain age. A certain background. A certain physical fitness. Who is actually trying to allude Law Enforcement. So, where would that individual go . Theres actually science and data behind it. Not something thats talked about very often. Thats the first thing. Second thing thats going on, you want to make sure you hit all your known points. Whats gonna be comparable to this individual . Very clearly based on all of our reporting, what may have triggered him for this incident, which appears at this point, according to multiple senior Law Enforcement officials, perhaps it was something involving and now ex girlfriend, who had a nexus to one of the locations that were shot last night. Or something that she particular like to do. That had him interested in committing one of these acts of violence. Youre not dealing with somebody, anybody who does, is not a rational person. We talked about that last night. If somebody is in particular Mental Health distress, what are gonna be some of the things theyre gonna be comforting to the individual . Where theyre gonna go . Yes, there are not hitting the oil in the well, so to speak. At the same point, theyre also crossing of a lot of different places where this person might be, places they might want to search for additional clues, as weve gone back there to try to get food . As you gone there try to get clothing . Yes, were not seeing a person in handcuffs right now or a dead suspect. On the other hand, theyre trying to move along and pick up all these areas as they continue their work. Tom, i apologize in advance for asking you a question that you may not know the answer to, the boat. We know the coast guard is looking by sea. Because robert card apparently had access to a boat. He may have owned a boat, 15 foot boat, so, far has not been retrieved. Is that right . I want to be a little careful here. There is a report that is out that i do not believe is accurate about the boat being missing at this time. I cant get into a lot more details than that. The coast guard naturally would want to look. First and foremost, people need to understand, youve got a body of water. Its a great place for somebody to run into a natural obstacle. Its a potentially great place for somebody to hide. The u. S. Coast guard has all sorts capabilities, theyre highly trained, the idea theyre gonna be running Up And Down The River thats in that area, obviously, were not too far from the ocean. To try to figure out where this individual is. And given the idea, even though its not that cold, certainly by main standards tonight. That somebody could try to get across that river, it feels to me like a really smart thing for them to do. I dont think one key into much on the board at this point. If we get more details, we can share on that, we certainly will. Just cognizant of the fact that its 2023, individuals have the ability to stream our program. You never know whos gonna watch this. There is that. But i think back to last night, when we unite first started talking about the totality of this tragedy, started to become clear. Theres so much more that we know, so much more that we dont know. As we continue on this path. I think the potential motives come into a little bit more clarity, what individuals current mindset is obviously very much an open question. I want, as much for focusing on the idea of a man hunt, this person could be out there, could be trying to move from place to place, obviously, rural. You saw how dark it was behind george. The other component of this, this individual may be dead. They maybe did, because they committed suicide. I think thats something that, died by suicide. I think its something that we have to keep in mind as well. Thats a potential. The note that was left behind, i dont get into a lot of detail about whats behind that, i dont know describe the way that other News Organizations have. As for as where this investigation goes from here, you mentioned resources. There are at least, according to reporting weve done, 350 members of Law Enforcement working on this. They have just they were up till two, almost 2 30 this morning, with their helicopters. They were back at it all day long. The fb
