The man suspected of gunning down 18 people at a bar and bowling alley in Maine and later committed suicide, suffered serious mental health issues, police say.
The US Army reservist who sprayed a bowling alley and bar with gunfire this week in the Maine town of Lewiston, killing 18 people, took his own life inside a shipping container parked on the site of a recycling plant where he once worked, police said on Saturday. Robert R Card, 40, was found dead on Friday evening local time from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
He also had threatened to shoot up the National Guard base in Saco and was "reported to have been committed to mental health facility for two weeks during summer 2023 and subsequently released", according to the bulletin from the Maine Information & Analysis Center, a unit of Maine State Police.
