- Maine officials provide the latest on the mass shooting in Lewiston, where 18 people were killed and 13 were injured. A manhunt is underway for the dangerous killer at large.
Latest on the investigation: abc7.com/lewiston-maine-mass-...
I lived in Maine for over ten years. My boy was born there. And while I've since moved on, I maintain several relationships with 'Mainers'. I can say that they are amongst the kindest, most honest and 'real' people this great country has to offer. My heart is broken for those who not only have lost their lives, but for those loved ones and friends who bear the burden of such senseless loss.
🇨🇦 Canada loves & supports the good people of Maine who are reeling from this tragedy. Hopefully measures can be undertaken to prevent another event in the future.
Thank you. ❤
Gun control ? Not gunna happen . More awareness for mental health ? 100 percent .
With all the technology in the world where privacy no longer exists and you’re telling me the guy is still at large?
This! I came looking for this comment!
Exactly! Makes no sense
Gosh this world is getting worse every day. I feel so sorry for the victims and their loved ones. I cant imagine the terror of the whole city is in knowing he hasn’t been caught
I dunno, the world has always been awful. Less people die today than did in the past. You think living in the 1500's was better? The problem is that nothing is being done to stop the mass killings - people have always been awful throughout history and that hasn't changed. One thing we know for sure, the killings will continue because we fetishize guns and value them more than our own families and communities. The real question is why do we insist on living in a culture like this? It's not the "world" that has so many mass shootings, it's America, here in our own back yards.
My ex is from Biddeford and we still keep in touch. I just let him know about this. I've been to Maine,it's a lovely state. I am so saddened to hear that this tragedy happened there. God bless all the families that were affected by this tragedy. 😢
My heart and prayers go out to the families and the victims of this heinous crime sending my love to all of you
From Minnesota
America is all over the World bullying everyone and cannot handle one active shooter at home, who's actually a citizen. Pathetic. Condolences to all the victims.
Im wondering the same thing. And also wondering why high powered assault rifles are available to citizens anyways.
It’s truly insane. We hunt, trap, fish for subsistence. We do not need assault rifles to have food on the table.
okay, the shit just happened yesterday and she’s already talking about moving forward?? 😵💫 what kind of psychotic bs is that?!? and why did she feel the need to mention that she’d been “working through the night” when isn’t that to be expected of her after an event like this ?!? and what kind of lame incompetence is on display where the police haven’t caught this person yet? what is really going on???
Small town
If the yellow flag law in Maine was followed, this wouldn’t have happened. It’s our governments fault. Maine has the highest death rate among children in state care, over 20 children died last year. If they cannot even protect our most innocent and vulnerable, how do you expect them to protect you from a psycho with a gun? The government and more laws aren’t the answer. The answer is buy a gun, take a safety course, learn to shoot through practice, and depend on yourself. Only you can protect yourself.
Hey man they are humans too. Tired and stressed.
My thoughts exactly. Oh how wonderful law enforcement is.....hey how about y'all catch this guy before you tell me how wonderful you are 😢
I’d be willing to be she’s a liberal which means it’s impossible for her to not make this about her in some way.
Very sorry from Italy to hear about such a horrible massacre
Thank you from Maine
Thank you from 🦘
Thank you from Texas.
@@mickreynolds5742 Australia. What's the weather like down there?
In America we value guns more than people. We could stop it anytime we wanted to but choose not to. We also have no mental health care for our poor. It's a recipe for daily massacre and I'm not sure we don't deserve what we get? Indeed, why can't the richest country in the history of the planet not stop this? We don't want to, that's why.
Is it possible that he acquired another car and drove out of the area to another state? This guy could still cause more mass casualties if he's still alive.
I heard his vehicle was found by boat docks, so the leading theiry is hes not even in the area
@@Jasonronsteinbergerif he’s smart he would’ve taken his boat into Canada. Knowing what he did I can’t imagine he is acting in a very rational way right now so that’s probably not the case.
@@colinarner790or Mexico
@@Jasonronsteinberger Aha!
There is that possibility
Prayers and condolences to the families impacted by the tragedy in Maine 🙏 Much love and respect to law enforcement for protecting us!
I don’t think the prayers are working
It's crazy to me the media wants to analyze his mental health,& want to know how he grew up and why he was so traumatized as a kid. Who gives a shit! They would just put up a criminal background if he was black. Damn shame I tell you.
So scary, my heart goes to everyone involved in this massacre! It’s always so scary to have that in the back of my mind every time I go into public 😢
At this point looks like y’all need the National Guard he’s clearly out of their league.
They need to check the woods. Remember he's a 20year of service marine. In his twisted mind, he has gone off to war.🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️💯
It's hard. He knows this area as well as they do if not better. Also had a head start. He is for sure above many mass murderers though in intelligence
@@soso8824he was never a marine and nothing but a weekend warrior that has never been deployed anywhere. He pumped fuel in the reserves
People can't even enjoy their nights out anymore. Sad country going down a sad path.
And we all know it 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My daughter lived in Lewiston but thank God she moved. Prayers to all the victims and their family 🙏❤️
but who is really safe anywhere in a country where anyone can own a gun...
@@heliaseifikar7870 while I totally get what you mean. It is definitely a comfort to know your loved one isn't in the area of an on-going assault.
Let's get out and vote for folks that won't be bought by bigFirearms. Its the only way to make realy change. No one is saying get rid of all guns, but there needs to be a rigorous vetting process before someone can own or purchase a weapon capable of taking so many innocent lives.
Blessed be.
This story is completely false communist propaganda fabricated by the number one enemies of America.
@@heliaseifikar7870 My exact thought. NO place is SAFE. This is NOT my America. A Colorado Mountain Grandma 💔🕊️🌹💪🙏. I LOVE YOU MAINE
In America you can get mowed down by an AR 15 anywhere. I don't think god has anything to do with it.
I don’t know about the local media there, but I heard a local radio station here in California making it sound like the suspect is a “highly trained” army reservist who obviously has been trained in how to kill. The guy was a Fuel Specialist. He was a military gas station attendant! He most likely knows how to stay undetected in his environment due to his upbringing. I’m just assuming that some people in Main like to hunt. Maybe this maniac is a hunter. Not trying to upset hunters. But the escaped killer who eluded police for 10 days recently was not a military veteran. And as far as being a “firearms instructor”, most N.C.O’s in the military at one point or another have additional firearms training to be “safety instructors” when their units are sent to the qualifications range. I’m a 11 year veteran who served in a infantry battalion for 6 years. Yes we are trained. But put me out in the woods and try to survive, I will be crying for help in a matter of hours.
I am blown away that someone could carry out this act. I am praying for the families of the deceased, and those that were injured. No one deserves to be shot just because some scumbag decided to shoot others for no specific reason. I am hoping the scumbag is caught and brought to justice, those in these areas need to use caution, know your surroundings so you do not become a victim. I am from Arizona and will continue to pray!!
My heart weeps for the victims. be kind to each other.
Places with more restrictive gun laws tend to have less gun violence. Just look at the states with the most gun violence per capita, they are all red states.
Please…..this is what you asked for.
If the cops responds quickly,how they didn't caught the shooter?
He had a head start and clearly an escape plan. Assuming including a boat registered in his name.
WHY is he not a full on suspect yet?! Whats with the kid glove "person of interest" verbage going on here?
Prayers for all
What forces are mobilized to stop this person? That's all I clicked on to hear. Of course we all offer condolences❤
All local, county, state officials... The FBI is here now... We are all on lockdown to keep people off the roads ..
Card, if your seeing this just turn yourself in. Turn yourself in.
Millions of eyes out here. Can you PLEASE tell us what to look for?
You didn’t see the suspect information? WM Robert card firearm’s instructor brown hair beard…wtf?
6 ft., brown hair, caucasian MAGA male (whatever that means), reads Elon Musk and Catturd tweets, studies about the Roman Empire daily, probably does not drive a Prius, armed with an AR-15.
@@Cmunic8oh shutup. the picture is terrible
@@Cmunic8 what do you mean by wtf? What kind of car, what's he wearing, habits etc. A picture and a name only? What does he look like clean shaven? 10 minutes of telling us who she talked to and you say wtf because we need more information?
My heart is with all of you 😭
Maine police still haven’t caught him?
My guess is he killed himself out in the woods
Woods go deep in Maine
@@Jupiter1423 that WOULD be easier
If that were true...the tracking dogs would have picked up on that trail
is maine a state that requires people to run away from a shooter as opposed to "stand their ground" ?
Sending sympathy to families of all victims. Very tragic and repeated so often.
My guess is he’ll unalive himself before being arrested, or infront of law enforcement.
nobody gave the police the authority to force people to stay in their homes.
Love and prayers from Marion,Illinois ❤
Why are you praising cops and this guy is on the loose wtf is that nobody is being brave looking for a guy they can't find!
More brave than the police at Uvalde. Cops from all over the state raced toward this killer.
It sounds like they were unprepared and not trained enough to deal with this situation. Shes busy telling us who she has talked to instead of what they are actively doing... sad.
Typical Demoncrats
They are too busy doing the wrong things, you can clearly see these are lazy people
@@cassandrapeters4818 Lazy, ungrateful, liars, and thieves. What else should one expect🤔
How do you prepare for this? Do you work for law enforcement? Smdh
No one expects others to be this evil.
Why didnt the military give him a psychological examination before training him how to use a fire and military tactics. Is the military that desperate that they look the other way and recruit those with severe mental illnesses. Also, the gun he used was issued by the national guard it is not an ar-15 but a military firearm.
No its not, you never keep the weapons issued to you in the military. You clearly never served one second in the military typing that bs
Holy crap, this is a big one. Not Vegas level, but still up there.
If 1 person lost their life dont you think thats just as bad as any before it. you would if it was someone belong to you , so you should treat them all as bad ,
las vegas was a failed obama era operation. we know this because it's been over 5 years and still the police are at "0 days of progress to investigate or report effectively on it"... dude it's been 5 whole years... WHY NOTHING? REALLY? NOTHING? lmfao it was a failed government operation...
or successful like the Canadians had in Portapique where the Canadian government had video of THEIR GUY Gabriel Wortman getting paid by the RCMP Rat Bank also known as "CIBC Intria" of which no ordinary person can use to bank unless they're getting paid for being a rat. The news lol reported that Gabe Wortman was working with RCMP to investigate bikers as they saw his social media posts with known bikers and the RCMP excuse to burn down his house and destroy evidence in Portapique was lol "domestic abuse" which is only a projection and a weak backstory considering most law enforcement families experience 40% increased rates of domestic abuse -> in other words the person forming the excuse for the fire was a cop, their handler projecting an insecurity common among law enforcement families. Canada banned the AR-15 over that RCMP operation. And I say "operation" because the RCMP never "confirms or denies anything" regarding those things but this time they clearly stated "he wasn't their guy" well, when stuff doesn't add up, start subtracting your belief in their claims. That's all I have to say about that.
@@BoB10I don't think OP meant this is a worse tragedy worthy of more compassion etc., but simply that the number of victims is high
It's still not over though. He's still at large.
It's very scary to think something like this could happen here in Maine my heart is sick over this
Where were the Lewiston cops....in the bed asleep?
Lets see bodies. All the pictures and videos. Where are they
"Just the facts maam. We're only interested in the facts." - Sgt. Joe Friday
“Usual suspect” is what they love to say.
I have faith law enforcement has this under control and the suspect will be brought in without further incidents.
A mass shooting ??? I really don't see how this could ever happen in our society. It must be a rare occurrence. Lert's pray it doesn't happen ever again.
How were they able to identify the shooter so fast?
They showed the picture of the surveillance video on the news and people were able to call in and identify him.
@@underdog7495 wondering who actually called in because the photos looked like two different people.
What? Fast police response but he still got away?
He was quick and trained in CQB, with a clear escape plan. Registered boat in his name.
WHAT MEDS WAS HE ON ? WHAT MED WERE ALL THE MASS SHOOTER ON ???
Can anyone tell me if the ASL translator is for real??? 😅
Need to see ASL interpreter!! Where find??
WHAT MEDS WERE ALL THE MASS SHOOTERS ON ???????
In the time that you've been wasting when you should be out there handling this s***
The beginning us a pat on the back... the people need info on crimes and things like that location areas... this was a well written sincerely letter... we all feel terrible... now what you going to do about it?
Let's be honest, more Americans today are concerned about the bad press for their gun fetish than they are the victims that they care nothing for. These daily mass shootings continue for a reason and we all know we could stop them if only we really wanted to. We don't. We love guns and generally don't like each other. The reason American imprisons more people than any other country by far, has more mass shootings than any other country by far and experiences so much crime is because we are a toxic and violent culture. We choose to be that way and I see no signs of it changing.
You are so correct.
565 mass shootings in the US this year :(
This year?! 566 since Columbine? In 2023? This makes me sad if it's true 😢
My God so sad …..😞…..let me guess this tragedy will be blamed for mental illness
Let me guess, this tragedy is going to be used politcally to change gun laws in America, blame white males and wedge a further divide. 😔
If he was a firearms instructor in the military, other military people know him and you guys should just go take care of business.Hooowaaa
Now media wants to know the make of the gun ,BUT NOT WHAT MEDS HE WAS ON ??!!??
Let me get this straight, first she states that her & president Brandon have ordered for all American flags & Maine state flags be lowered to half staff immediately, as if that is the most important thing to do right now! Before then going on to state that the Maine state police have issued a shelter in place order... Why wouldn't that be the very first thing said?? Shouldn't everyone's safety be the most important priority?? I dont know maybe I'm wrong, perhaps lowering my American & Maine state flag to half staff immediately is whats really important right now... Unbelievable...
This move with the flags is nothing more than political. Not to remember these people. If it were, they would have also done this for the 22 Americans (so far) tortured/slaughtered/mutilated (in that order) by Hamas this month. No government official has the authority to issue an order forcing individuals to stay in their homes. That order is unconstitutional and in accordance with the constitution null and void as it violates the right to travel.
holidays around the corner people are desensitized at this point another crazy is somewhere in a basement planning something just to beat his kill count...I hope everyone stays safe how tragic
Mr. Card is probably on the high seas. This is now going to have to include a marine operation, coast guard, etc
As much as i feel awful for all these people, just imagine if all were armed.
Love your 2nd Amendment!!thoughts and prayers wil not solve the problem

we have BGM-71 TOW's now outside of every school, bar and bowling alley here in Texas for exactly this reason.
Catch up Maine.
What are TOW's?
Because your police are such cowards they stand around and let children die. We have bartenders going toward an active shooter with a butchers knife. Catch up texas.
@@NLAProductionsanti- tank missile and he lying
can someone please inform that reporter asking about "semi-automatic weapons" and tell them that a single shot rifle with no magazine is "semi-automatic" ?
Semi automatics have nothing to do with magazines
@@sz6738 what do you think my point was
I think if that’s the relevancy that’s taken from this situation then the focus is all off. This was a “good guy with a gun” as a fire arms instructor. Yet here we are… the largest mass shooting of the year.
i think the coward already killed him self
Let me guess not one citizen had a weapon to take out this killer. People in the churches carry and stopped shooters there. Wake up to the fact killers like easy targets.
Places where more people own guns tend to have more gun violence not less. Just look at any country with less guns.
@@miknarfyou do realize criminals don't give a shit about laws right?
@@threetoadsloth Ok so? Are you arguing that we shouldn't have laws? Why do countries with more strict gun laws have less gun crime? Do their criminals care about the laws?

Geez Louise thoughts and prayers oh please.🥱
Who knew that allowing private ownership of weapons of war was a bad idea?
I guess this is just our normal. Nothing happens to change with each one of these shootings. Sorry to everyone that has lost someone. 😢
NOPE! Don’t accept it as normal
We choose this normal. It's what we want clearly because we never do anything to stop it and it happens every single day somewhere in this country.
🙏🏽😢
If the yellow flag law in Maine was followed, this wouldn’t have happened. It’s our governments fault. Maine has the highest death rate among children in state care, over 20 children died last year. If they cannot even protect our most innocent and vulnerable, how do you expect them to protect you from a psycho with a gun? The government and more laws aren’t the answer. The answer is buy a gun, take a safety course, learn to shoot through practice, and depend on yourself. Only you can protect yourself.
yellow flag law isn't going to stop him from buying diesel or fertilizer.

We need to strongly consider requiring gun training courses and a full/indepth background evaluation before giving anyone a gun. Also, we should require periodic recertification and checks. A "normal" person who gets a gun could, one day, change and become a threat. For example, a person who gets a mental illness down the line.
@@georgeklimes7604 so you want to create a registry, or a list for the government….if they decide that what you are posting online is “dangerous” then they can just go to their list, show up at your home, and take your guns. Yeah, I’m gonna have to disagree with that one.
@@MithykalGamingyour original comment wasn't funny honestly and this reply isn't either. Our police didn't stand and watch children die, they raced toward the danger.
This guy probably shaved his head and face by now
Mental health yes...still wont stop someone acquiring a weapon designed for the battlefield...the speed at which this kills many people.. in what instance do you know..where 18 people killed..and guy is gone b4 the cops even get the call...this is the problem and always has been with these semi auto rifles

This is a perfect example of why EVERYONE should own a gun to protect their loved ones and stop evil in its tracks!
Remember people!
When seconds count, the police are minutes away!
It’s up to you to protect your family!
Yeah we should all have protection but shouldn’t we address the systemic issue of gun violence and why this country has so much versus other countries?? I feel like just telling everyone to arm themselves is definitely not the solution and it feels disrespectful in this case to say that
This is a perfect example of why everyone having a gun is a problem. Based on how people act/ have their priorities set, the general public doesn’t deserve to own a firearm. I mean we’re talking about the people who boarded and ransacked places for toilet paper.
Can you imagine the chain reaction of people shooting each other and going in petty man hunts due to misfire? Conflict?
Places where more people own guns have more gun violence per population not less
Yes, of course, so that you risk catching an innocent in crossfire or making yourself a bigger target.
This will never be the right answer.
Sorrow for the victims is a given what ab our "do nothin" politicians esp Republicans at least the Democrats want to forward gun legislation.
