Robert Card manhunt: Maine police calling on public for tips after at least 18 killed in mass shooting

Law enforcement agencies in Maine are asking the public to report any tips about suspect Robert Card to authorities as he remains at large.

As the manhunt in Maine intensifies for Robert Card, a suspect in a mass shooting at two locations in Lewiston, state and local authorities are asking the public for tips to help lead to his capture.

Card, 40, is being sought after at least 18 people were killed and 13 more were wounded in shootings at Schemengees Bar and Grille and Just in Time Bowling, Maine Gov. Janet Mills and law enforcement officials said at a Thursday morning press conference.

Communities across the state remain under shelter-in-place advisories, while schools and college campuses have closed and canceled classes Thursday. Authorities warned the public that Card is considered armed and dangerous, and should not be approached.

Here is how you can contact authorities with information about Card or the shooting:
