An "armed and dangerous" Army reservist, Robert Card, remains at large after allegedly killing 18 people and wounding 13 in a mass shooting at a Lewiston, Maine bowling alley and bar.
A massive police dragnet has locked down a wide area of Maine, with authorities conducting an intense manhunt and ordering residents to shelter in place.
The 40-year-old suspect, Card, a member of the US Army Reserve, was reportedly sent for psychiatric treatment recently after claiming to hear voices.
President Joe Biden condemned the "senseless and tragic" shooting, reiterating calls for stricter gun control measures and highlighting the recurring issue of gun violence in the United States.
