News comes the shooter is Robert Card, age 41, a retired military officer:
——
Police in Lewiston, Maine, have identified Robert Card, a 41-year-old retired military officer, as the main suspect in the shootings at at least two businesses in the city.
Card, who is twice divorced and a father of three children, has a history of arrests for domestic violence and other crimes. One of his ex-wives obtained a restraining order against him.
Conflicting reports surround the description of the suspect's vehicle, with some sources stating he fled in a Honda Civic, while others mention a Subaru Outback.
Both local police and the Maine Department of Public Safety have urged residents to stay in their homes and keep their doors closed.
—-
A misdemeanor domestic violence conviction should have barred him from possession of modern firearms but he easily could have owned his weapon before any conviction or he could have bought it from an unknowing individual. There are 25 million out there.
There are about two million retired military personnel.
They hardly ever run amok but when they do, it’s beyond a bad situation.
