A mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, where a U.S. Army reservist named Robert Card is suspected of killing 18 people and injuring 13 others at a bowling alley and a bar. He is considered armed and dangerous and is the subject of an intense manhunt.

The shooting has prompted a massive law enforcement response and has left the community in shock. Schools, doctor's offices, and grocery stores have closed, and residents are staying behind locked doors.

The incident has sparked discussions about gun control and mental health evaluations in the United States, as Maine does not require permits to carry guns and has a culture of gun ownership.
