A massive manhunt is underway in Maine after a gunman identified as Robert Card killed 22 people and injured dozens more in a shooting rampage across Lewiston. The 40-year-old former military officer opened fire in a bowling alley and restaurant before fleeing in a white SUV. Police have warned Card is armed and dangerous and have urged residents to shelter in place. Card has a history of mental health issues and domestic violence. The back-to-back shootings have shocked the community, with the mayor saying he is "heartbroken." The incident has renewed calls for tighter gun control amid opposition from Republicans.
