The suspect is believed to be Robert Card, a 20-year US Army veteran from Bowdoin Center, Maine.

(according to Telegrams so take with grain of salt)

EDIT: Name confirmed by news.

According to law enforcement, CARD recently reported mental health issues to include hearing voices and threats to shoot up the National Guard Base in Saco, ME.

    I find it hard to understand how someone can shoot about 100 people but police still haven’t been to catch him yet. Maybe the vast emptiness of the suburban hellscape that makes it possible.

      Having lived in Lewiston a long time, I can tell you the cops there are all totally incompetent. They’re not even murderous psychos that big city police forces hire. Just total dumbasses riding around eating donuts 50 hours a week. The police station is like a five minute drive from where this guy started shooting.

      If you drive twenty minutes in any direction it’s all woods and camps though. A helicopter can’t do shit, there’s no surveillance cameras, and very few people to call in tips.

      Cops have to drive 10 minutes to leave a neighborhood at the only exit while a criminal can jump over some fences and flee the neighborhood in like 45 seconds
