On October 25, 2023, 40-year-old Robert Card carried out a spree shooting in Lewiston, Maine, United States, killing 18 people and wounding 13 others. The initial attack occurred at the Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley during a youth league event, followed shortly by a second shooting at the Schemengees Bar & Grille Restaurant. Following these events, Card escaped, prompting the Androscoggin Sheriff's Office to release his photograph identifying him as the suspect and the Maine State Police to initiate a homicide investigation and the most extensive manhunt in state history. Forty-nine hours later, on October 27, Maine State Police discovered Card dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His body was in a tractor-trailer near a recycling center in Lisbon, Maine, where he had been recently employed. Examination of Card's brain tissue revealed that he had traumatic brain injuries likely attributable to his eight years as a grenade instructor, when he was exposed to repeated blasts. The shooting is the tenth-deadliest in U.S. history and the deadliest in the history of Maine.
