Governor of Maine Janet Mills spoke to the press in the wake of shootings in Lewiston, Maine that killed 18 people and injured 13 more. The suspected perpetrator, Robert Card, is still at large.
“In memory of those we lost and in honor of those who were injured, President Biden and I have ordered all U.S. flags and state of Maine flags to be lowered to half-staff immediately for the next five days,” Governor Mills said. “Maine State Police have issued a shelter-in-place order for Lewiston, Lisbon and Bowdoin as the manhunt for that person of interest Robert Card of Bowdoin continues. I will let law enforcement speak to the ongoing manhunt and to their investigation, but Mr. Card is considered armed and dangerous and police advise that Maine people should not approach him under any circumstances. I continue to strongly urge Maine people to follow the direction of state and local law enforcement amid this ever-changing situation.”
