BOWDOIN, Maine — Police on Thursday descended on a Bowdoin home near one owned by the man accused of killing 18 people and injuring 13 others in mass shootings in Lewiston a day earlier.
It was unclear which home in the 900 block of Meadow Road was the subject of police activity, though Shannon Moss, a spokesperson for the Maine Department of Public Safety, said police were at a home in the town as part of the search for Robert R. Card II and the probe into the shootings that police say he is suspected of committing.
Sometime after 4:30 p.m., an FBI agent urged someone to “open the door” at his home on Meadow Road, according to a video posted by a reporter for the cable network NewsNation. Police appeared to be searching Card’s other home on West Road earlier in the day.
An hour later, several police cars remained lined up on the side of Meadow Road. Reporters were stationed at the base of a hill roughly one-fifth of a mile from a home obscured by a forest, and a plane circled overhead.
Card’s father and brother own a few homes in the area. The suspect and his wife own a home at 941 Meadow Road. Earlier in the day, Katie Card, the alleged shooter’s sister in law, issued a statement urging him to turn himself in.
