Shooting in Lewiston ME

[89th]

Initial suspect seems to be Robert Card, about 40 years old, army vet. I found his address, but no need to share it here.

Some are saying it's not the same guy...

I'm not sure how big Lewiston's hospitals are but I can't imagine that 50-60 trauma cases showing up in succession is an easy task. I'm guessing if you're an ER doc in Lewiston you're heading in to work without waiting for the call.

In February 1977, when the "L" derailed and fell to the pavement in the Loop, Northwestern was overwhelmed. And that's with other casualties going to Cook County, Rush, U of I...

I believe there were "only" 11 fatalities at that time.

I have a friend in Wayne ME. I checked google maps to see how close to Lewiston it is, look at the warning google maps gave me:

FFS.

"Well honey if we took the freeway we could avoid the tolls, but with the mass shooting it's probably a wash."

Earlier on Reddit they said it might be the same but that the perv was born 4/3/83 and the suspect was born 4/4/83. Anyway…

Slightly comforting if he's just crazy.

Just found a comment from JF on the Lewiston Maine Facebook page saying they are ok. About 50 minutes ago.

Is Jack from that town? I knew he was Maine

[89th]

Oh and thanks Jodi

[jodi]

His Facebook profile says Auburn, which is very close, think there is a shelter in place for that town also.

Mental health failure. Guy has previously made threats to shoot up a military base. Read, but not confirmed, he's under a restraining order for a history of domestic violence. Spent two weeks in a mental facility this summer.

Guy should not have had firearms.

Very close, right across the river. I believe his practice was in Lewiston.

He posted again on FB about an hour ago saying he's safe

Last thing I saw, the killer is still loose.

I just did the same thing, looked for a map, I was surprised to see the locations highlighted.

Somebody did some good work, planning, collecting and posting.

Just for perspective. On October 7 we admitted 150 causalities. Ten laparotomies. But the ones who worked the most were the orthopedists who spent days debriding shrapnel wounds.
