TL;DR Summary

At least 16 people were killed and dozens more wounded in a mass shooting at a restaurant and a bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine. The shooter, identified as Robert Card, is still at large, prompting a massive manhunt by law enforcement. Card, a firearms instructor believed to be in the Army Reserve, had previously been committed to a mental health facility and had reported threats to carry out a shooting. Residents have been advised to stay indoors, and schools will be closed as a precaution. Maine has a strong gun ownership culture, and recent attempts to tighten gun laws have failed.
