Right now. Good afternoon, im Chris Jansing live from Msnbc Headquarters here in new york city. It has been 42 hours since 911 in maine got a call that shots were fired inside a local Bowling Alley, but if police are making any Real Progress today to find the killer of 18 people, theyre not saying. What they did reveal at a Press Conference is the plan for divers to get in the river around the boat launch where they think the suspect, robbed card ditched his car. Then theres going to be some screening and some divers that are actually in the water that may start on this side by the boat launch. They could be dragging a diver behind them literally while that diver is checking for evidence, checking for potential bodies. Well have more on the search and what those divers might be able to find later this hour as the race to find the suspect enters a second full day. And with cart on the loose a lockdown continues so the communityt gather to mourn the victims. The youngest we know right now 14yearold aaron young, just out bowling with his dad who was also murdered. Nbc spoke to his cousin. Theyre just innocent people, just innocent people out for a night of bowling. This was a childrens event, you know. Who expects a shooter to go into a childrens event, but you know, this is a crazy world that we live in today. The tragedy turning one named congressman with an a plus rating from a maine Gun Rights Group to have a sudden Change Of Heart apologizing for opposing an Assault Weapons ban. Well be talking to his colleague, congresswoman shelly pin agree who represents a district that Neighbors Lewiston in just a moment. But lets begin on the ground in lewiston where investigators say theyll continue to be tightlipped in order to protect their search and protect the officers leading it. The community clearly is on edge as the search for robert card enters a second day. One reporter asked if investigators are concerned that their trail could be running cold. Every minute that this goes on were more and more concerned. You know, because whats the next thing thats going to happen, and we understand that, and thats why were working 24 7. Theres no question in my mind we will b this individual into custody one way or another. With answers slow to come, the pain in the tightknit community is palpable. Trisha says her mom was shot trying to call 911. Im coming to maine the minute we find out when her body will be released from the morgue. I want to hold my baby one more time. I dont care. I want to put her in my arms. Police are scouring every inch of just in time recreation Bowling Alley where trisha and six others were killed. Eight more people died at Schemengees Bar and grill, that we now know was hosting a Corn Holernament for the deaf community. The rtnd press Herald Report this is heartbreaking note, quote, pastor aaron davis of Cava Chapel Lewiston of auburn said his stepbrother who is deaf was playing corn hole with some of his friends, he never heard the shot that killed two of the men at his side and put another in the hospital. I want to bring in Antonia Hylton on the ground in lewiston, msnbc legal analyst, joyce vance, nbc news investigative correspondent, tom winter is here, and former Assistant Director for counterintelligence at the fbi and an Msnbc National Security analyst frank figliuzzi. What do we know at this hour . I think theyre looking at a couple of different things, first off trying to determine if theres any sort of body that they can find thats next to that car that you referenced. Thats the last known location he was at. I think theyre also going to look at any sort of cell phone history to try to determine where he was traveling after the attack. One of the concerns here is that from a Cell Site Tower Issue in new york city, for instance, you could be extremely precise because theres so many Cell Phone Towers to try to determine where somebodys located is much easier. The more rural you get in an area, that can be a little bit more of a challenge. They continue to search along the river to make sure its a National Geographic barrier. You try to make sure the individuals not along the river. We know from our Press Conference, theyre going to be out today searching for additional residences. What are the residences he knows, what are the residences hes been at, so family residences. They came back and searched them again. Theyre going to continue those searches today, and theres a whole host of things they can do technically to do that. Column b is the investigation. Theyre going to look at the thing we first reported yesterday, which is the existence of this note. What does that note say . What can it actually tell them . Weve had a number of folks that weve spoken to that say the note isnt quite clear as far as what any of the next steps might have been for card. Thats something were going to continue to report on. Thats something theyre going to continue to look into it, and then is there any other Additional Information that they can glean put against this incredibly rural backdrop, somebody that knows the area well, presumably, and so i think they have their work cut out for them, and i think theyve admitted as much in the course of their Press Conferences and discussions with us. Nobodys saying were going to lift this lockdown order, nobody is saying weve got some great leads here. Theyre talking about the number of people who have called in, but the last i heard from officials was that none of them have turned out to actually lead them anywhere. What did you hear in that Press Conference . What i heard was almost importantly what was not said, which is as youve referenced, there was nothing substantive about weve got a focus now, we really dont, and that tells me that certain usual investigative techniques arent quite panning out right now. Thermal imaging from the air, for example, must be negative. K9s Tracking Scents must right now be negative and other things. The other takeaway i heard in the Press Conference was the commissioner referenced the danger of simply conducting the searches. He did it in the context of the dive team, and he referenced an apprehensions team, and Tactical Teams that are standing by to protect, as i took it, the searchers. So thats a unique factor here. Whats taking so long with the search . Well, its not just getting in the water and diving. Its getting in the water and realizing he could be out there aiming a sniper rifle at the search team. Youve got to plan tactically, and youve got to think about apprehension so that the average Patrol Officer isnt going to encounter him accidentally turning the corner. I think exactly to that point, we have some sound from someone who served with him in the reserves, and i want to play that for you. And with what we did meeting him, and the way that he showed us how to use a weapon. The mans smart. Hes really smart. He knows warfare, he understands it. I think they need soldiers to be honest with you, to be here. I really do. Well, i mean, thats an interesting position here burks but the truth of the matter is this is a guy who knows weapons and had a plan. He clearly is adept with his weapon and knows how to use it. I already hear, you know, in the back of my head the Military Spokesperson who reminded us, hey, this guy was in petroleum supply. Hes a gas guy, and he was in the reserves. They also said he did not train for the army. This Firearm Instructor Label is something he did on his own. It was not associated with the military. Yeah. And the idea also of bringing the army, look, weve reported for days the fbi, Boston Field Office has its s. W. A. T. Team there, the Maine State Police has their own version of the same. There are a number of teams that are there up there. These folks train all day long. I dont know why im talking about it, frank can talk about it probably even better. He was in the fbi. But when you look at this and the type of people they have up there, these are people that know how to look for this, and then the other thing is folks around here have asked me, well, what if he was to make it to the canadian border. Folks might remember the Prison Escape where the u. S. Customs and Border PatrolTactical Team there were the ones that found the second prisoner that escaped and shot and killed that person. Its not as if there arent qualified people in Law Enforcement that could be deployed along that border as well. So this is a situation where youve got 350 approximately people on the ground on top of it, and you also have people that are highly trained and to franks point, probably much more trained on this issue when it comes to, you know, tactical expertise. So antonia, we are getting more information coming in about the 18 lives that were lost on wednesday. What more can you tell us . Well, nbc has confirmed almost all of these people who have passed away and i actually just spent time just a little while ago with a person who was friends with many of them. He was part of a crew that would meet up at the Bowling Alley, and the only reason he wasnt there that night was because he had to take care of his own two kids who were under the age of 4. If he had had child care, he says he would have been there with all of his friends, and right now hes experiencing some survivors guilt and you know, i share that with you because this isnt actually a unique story. Thats what weve heard from residents the last two days that people here are extremely, you know, tightknit and they know each other. They grew up here. Their kids are going to the same schools and areas and hangouts that they went to when they were kids. Peoples cousins work here and there. Theres that level of closeness added to the heartbreak and compounds what you mentioned which is that because of the shelter in place order, which officials made clear this morning is very much still going to be in place so long as they feel that theres an active threat, you know, people cant come together in the ways that they traditionally would. Take a listen to my conversation with this resident. Hes a business owner, a friend of many of the victims, and his name is walter dunphy. I havent slept in three days, and i have a 3 and a 4yearold, so that doesnt help when they wake up at 5 45. Do they know whats going on . Absolutely not. Youre shielding them from this . Yes. They are no, theyre not going to no. I cannot figure out how i would tell them about this. Reporter and he has been waiting around here in front of the Central Medical center waiting to find out some information because one of his friends is in critical care, and hes waiting to find out if he can actually go inside and visit that friend, if theyre going to be able to get out today, and so, you know, while theres this shelter in place, weve seen some residents actually come and drive around, talk to media, check in with some of us to see if we have more information to share with them. Theres this eagerness and i think some of what frank and tom just touched on there, the fact that, you know, we learned just as much from what they didnt say as what they did actually share with us today has added to this anxiety, this fear that perhaps this is going to be like what we just saw transpire in pennsylvania where there was the manhunt for two weeks. The idea of being out of school for two weeks with small kids, of not being able to go to work to get your income for two weeks, thats very frightening to a lot of people, and theyre very eager to get their lives back in order, of course, but also to be able to start attending the funerals, start having the vigils, really have that communal support. The major outlet they have is that officials have made clear there is a digital tip line. People are trying to share, contribute to that about 530 tips. But you know, right now it seems like they havent found any clear leads that have really narrowed this search down, and so thats just their grief is in limbo, chris. Thats the best wayky describe it. The isolation can be horrible. It really does seem to make a difference to the community when they can come together, grieve together, speak together. Lets talk about what else is happening in an affirmative way, joyce. They did say yesterday at a Press Conference that every time they get some sort of key piece of information they are handing it over to prosecutors. So talk about the case that theyre building against robert card right now, even though they dont know where he is . Well, thats absolutely right, chris. Theres very likely in place already a task force consisting of state, local, and federal Law Enforcement, both officers and prosecutors. Theyre working together, and while their primary job is to apprehend the suspect and make the Community Safe to ensure that there is no, for instance, he doesnt have an Ammunition Locker at some place that they would need to go ahead and take into their possession, but on that same track, they have to prepare for a prosecution event in that they recover someone who can stand prosecution, and that means that theyre very careful. We saw that yesterday when they executed Search Warrants on a home, it received a lot of media attention. They have to go to a judge first and demonstrate probable cause and get that Search Warrant to move on with those sort of measures, all in this incredibly difficult to cover maine terrain. I know frank remembers The Hunt For Eric Rudolph who bombed an Abortion Clinic in birmingham and killed a police officer, bombed three locations including olympic park in atlanta, and then managed to escape and made it up into the North Carolina woods where there were dense thickets, other terrain that made it very difficult to find him. This is a similar problem. Joyce vance, Antonia Hylton, tom winter and frank figliuzzi, thank all of you very much. New explosions in gaza just moments ago. Were going to go live to israel in just 60 seconds. In just 60 seconds with fastsigns, Brew Signature Flavor into every sip and sign. Fastsigns. Make your statement. Theres challenges, and i love overcoming challenges. When better money habits® content first started coming out, it expanded what i could do for Special Olympics athletes with developmental needs. Thousands of Bank Of America employees like scott spend countless hours volunteering to teach people how to reach their financial goals. It felt good. It felt like i could take on the whole world. We have Breaking News in the israelhamas war. New explosions in gaza just moments ago. Nbcs Richard Engel is reporting from the israel gaza border. What are you seeing, and what does it mean, richard . Reporter well, were seeing an uptick in attacks and weve been seeing and hearing this over the last couple of hours. It comes and goes in waves. There will be a few moments with intense tank and artillery fire into the Northern Gaza strip. There are also israeli jets overhead. We can hear them tearing through the sky, and most of this seems to be focused on the areas in the very north of the gaza strip, and you can see some of those areas behind the buildings in the background, and despite all of this, hamas has still managed to find some salvos of rockets from this very same area thats under attack toward northern toward israel. So the question is, is this the start of something more . Is this a softening campaign . Theres no indication this is the launch of any major Ground Offensive, that this is something different. Its what were hearing is a more intense bombardment that we have in the last several days. I think if you listen, you can hear one of the israeli jets right now heading over toward gaza. Weve also heard quite consistent israeli artillery and tank fire. In these positions along the gaza border hidden and theyre hiding themselves on purpose and theyve also been emitting some Smoke Screens to disguise their positions even better. They have been firing into gaza with what sounds like at times rolling thunder, just one strike after another after another. The people in gaza are describing this as some of the most intense bombardments theyve seen from the beginning. Were having difficulty reaching our teams inside gaza, so it seems that the internet and communications are also being disrupted during these bombardments, and this comes just after israel launched over the last 24 hours two relatively brief incursions with tanks and troops into the gaza strip following another incursion yesterday, so the momentum does seem to be picking up with artillery, tank fire, aircraft, drones and limited incursions all going into gaza over the last 24 hours and intensifying in these last seve
