Robert Card named as Lewiston shooting person of interest
Robert Card, 40, has been named as a person of interest after gunfire erupted at a bowling alley and a bar Lewiston on Wednesday night.
Card is a firearms instructor at a US Army Reserve training facility in Maine, according to cops.
He also spent two weeks at a mental health facility this summer.
He reported hearing voices and previously threatened to commit a shooting at a military training base in Saco, Maine, according to AP.
Card is a former University of Maine student who studied at the institution between 2001 and 2004 but it’s not clear when he graduated, a university representative told NBC News.
The person of interest was believed to be driving a 2013 white Subaru Outback, which was later found eight miles from the shooting scenes, in nearby Lisbon.
Cops have swooped on the area, knocking on doors of homes and helicopters surveying the scene.
