The FBI is targeting the home of suspected Maine gunman Robert Card after loud bangs were heard nearby – as the manhunt continues for the mass murderer who killed 18 people at the Lewiston bowling alley and bar

  • FBI agents crowded outside a home in Bowdoin, Maine, on Thursday evening, demanding one or more people inside: “Come out with your hands up.”
  • The FBI shined a spotlight on the house, and an officer with a megaphone told a person inside: “Follow my orders.”
  • Robert Card, 40, who is accused of shooting 18 people in Lewiston on Wednesday night, lived in Bowdoin, as did Ryan and Katie Card, his brother and sister-in-law

A standoff believed to be related to Lewiston shooting suspect Robert Card broke out Thursday at a property in Bowdoin, Maine.

FBI agents told a person inside at 7:20 p.m., “Come out with your hands up.”

It was unclear who they were speaking to. Card, his parents, and his brother and sister-in-law all live in the area.

Using a megaphone, officers asked the person to come toward them and asked if anyone else was inside.

There were helicopters and drones overhead.

Connor Clemente, a reporter for local news station WMTWTV, said he heard the FBI himself order Card to leave the house.

He tweeted that he heard: “Robert Card, you’re under arrest.” “We know you’re inside. Come out with your hands up, we don’t want anyone to get hurt.”
