The manhunt is under way after a massacre in two locations in the city of lewiston. 22 people are ked, 16 others wounded. The shooting took place at a Bowling Alley and a restaurant. Officials have been telling residents to stay inside and lock their doors. Hundreds of officers are looking for this man, 40yearold robert card. Police describe him as a Person Of Interest and say he is considered armed and dangerous. The local Sheriffs Office released this image of the gunman holding a highpowered assaultstyle rifle, just inside the entrance to the Bowling Alley. U. S. President joe biden says he has been briefed on the shooting and spoke with maines governor and lawmakers. I want to bring in a reporter with wmtw in lewiston right now. We appreciate you being with us, james. We spoke with an official ear earlier. 22 people killed, dozens injured. Youre outside of the Main Medical Center in lewiston. Tell us about the medical response. What more are you hearing about those treating the survivors . Reporter we spoke a few minutes ago to one of the Trauma Surgeons here in lewiston, giving us an insight of what that staff, what that team of surgeons have been going through throughout this evening and into the Early Morning hours. He said this is not something he has seen before. A highvelocity a. R. Bullet ripping through a human body. Thats something you only see in pictures. He had nothing but praise for his staff here. They were prepared and they were staffed. They didnt flinch when dozens and dozens of injured came in through these doors, with gunshot wounds. Again, the likes of which they havent seen. At least 20 dead. Dozens injured. We dont have that exact number. That exact number has not been confirmed the number of dead could rise as the day progresses. We have spoken to some of the nurses here at cmc. The looks on their faces, on some of the faces, really just told the entirety of the story. This is a community that doesnt see incidents like this happen. Maine is last in the state in terms of violent crime. They average about 22 homicides per year for the last decade. That was matched in one night, in the course of ten minutes, when robert card has allegedly took his a. R. Rifle into the Bow Bowling Ally and into the bar here, in the city here in lewiston. Were under a shelter in place, the entire county here. No businesses will be able to open. People that were in businesses are still in businesses. They have not been able to leave. Places like schools had to be evacuated. This is something we have never seen in the state of maine or wish to see or ever want to see again. It has happened here, in a place that, frankly, one of the places you would least expect to see it happen. We noticed the security outside of the hospital there. We know that state and local and federal offices are looking for the suspected gunman, eight hours after the massacre. Whats the latest on the manhunt . Reporter his car was found in lisbon, a town not far from here. Its been a long time. Law enforcement officers are patrolling that area in lisbon. Weve seen helicopters circle that area, do laps around. At this moment, the suspect, the Person Of Interest, robert card, is still at large. That shelter in place order remains intact. We appreciate your time tonight. Our thoughts are with your community. Thanks for joining us. I want to bring in steve moore, a cnn contributor, former member of the fbi. Good to have you here, steve. Thanks. This manhunt is still under way. Eight hours since the first shots reportedly fired. What does that mean for Law Enforcement, as the hours pick on . The problem with the passage of time is thats also an expansion of the search area. The person, the shooter, with, if they have a vehicle, its wildly expanding. If theyre on foot, its still expanding. It puts a larger burden on them. Right now, they are probably bringing in resources, as we speak, say, from the fbi. The fbi had aircraft that can look for look for the smallest body heat on the ground. They can search for that. Ive been in those planes when we looked for people in areas like this. Thats what were going to see, a more technical search. Its dangerous to send in Law Enforcement that can set up boobie traps. If you dont send them in, he can get to a civilian target. Were showing you photos of the suspect. What do you take away from those image . Are these images of the shooter himself . Exactly. Yeah. Thats scary. I have a tactical background, and you are able to recognize somebody with expertise. He is showing several behaviors that indicate a high level of training. He is moving forward. Yet looking for the side. Covering targets or searching for the targets on his left, in one of the photos. You see him holding the front of the rifle down. Its not just gently cradled. Hes holding it town. That usually means he is expecting to fire rapidly. Holding it down is somebody who is tactically trained. Even the way he is walking. You see his feet his legs are moving mainly below the knees. That allows you to walk without the rifle barrel bouncing. All of these things mean he is a camp tent tactical shooter. That complicates things more than i can imagine for the Law Enforcement. We saw from Law Enforcement officials that the Person Of Interest, robert card, was a certified firearms and Tactics Instructor with military experience. He was committed to a Mental Health facility, after reportedly hearing voices and making threats to shoot up a National Guard base in maine. Its unclear at this point, if this is the person that the gunman its unclear at this point, if so, hes able to get that rifle. In terms of the gun laws in maine, what do you know about them . What should people in those areas do right now . Well, what the people should do in those areas is hunker down. Dont answer your door unless you can verify that its police. Dont let anyone come into the house and report any change movements outside or report any noises you hear. Thats the number one thing. As far as the gun laws, think about it this way. This person has been in the military likely for years. As a Firearms Instructor had access to ar15s. I was a Firearms Instructor. I had access to ar15s. He probably had this weapon legally long before he started to experience any mental issues. Were going back to that whole thing. How serious are we about retrieving weapons who have access to them and are mentally incompetent to keep their possession of the rifles. An those images, we saw the suspect walking through inin al restaurant, at dinner time. He didnt have a flak jacket on or any other protection. Whats your reading into that . In terms of his mindset, how does this play out . We could have a flak jacket under that bulky top he is wearing. I think what it says is, you cant get me. Even if you dont, i dont think he cares. I think he sees this as the end of the voices in his head. The end of his mental anguish. The end of his life. I believe he was carrying all sorts of magazine extra ammo in his cargo pants pockets. I think the reason he didnt wear flak vest or some kind of protective gear is twofold, as i said. You cant get me. Steve moore, good to have you on the program for that perspective. Thank you very much. He lives in lewiston, maine, and his home is just a block away from the Bowling Alley in a became a scene. He told my colleague wednesday night it was too hard to believe. My first reaction was anger that it was happening in the community. Were much better than that. Youve had this before in a Mass Shooting. You cant believe it will happen. I have helicopters flying over my house with search lights. Its unreal. Still ahead, the latest on that Mass Shooting in lewiston, maine. 22 dead, many more wounded. The gunman still at large. Also ahead, im going to speak to a Military Spokesperson about a Ground Invasion in gaza were told is coming. Welcome back. Im lynda kinkade. Were continuing our coverage of israelless war with hamas. We have an update in a moment. First, deadly Mass Shootings in lewiston, maine. Local police have identified robert card as a intePerson Of Interest. 22 people were killed and dozens others injured. His vehicle was found in the nearby town of lisbon. Card is described as a Firearms Instructor and u. S. Army reserve. He is considered armed and dangerous. And residents are being urged to shelter in place. Cnn is following developments on that manhunt, and were going to give you information as we get it. A woman and her daughter came up on one of the shooting scenes. She described what she saw to our lara coates. Have a listen. We saw a lot of rockets and stuff. We did see people getting patted down. We ended up realizing that they were patting people down as they were coming out, just to make sure they werent whatever was happening in there. At the time, we didnt really know for sure. And i guess what were the age of people you were seeing coming out . We heard a report of children. You saw children coming out. Yeah. There was kids. Looking back, that was probably the hardest part, just seeing families pouring out of there there. Knowing that that happened in there, while they were probably having a family night. The israeli Prime Minister has declared all Hamas Terrorists dead men walking, above ground, below ground and outside gaza. Benjamin netanyahu in a televizzed address, says Israel Military is raining down hellfire on hamas. He added that israel is adding support of world leader because hamas is isis and isis is hamas. The preparations for a grouped incursion are under way. He gave no other details. For the First Time Since the hamas assault, Benjamin Netanyahu spoke about his own role in the Stuecurity Breakdow that led to the worst attack in israeli history. Translator citizens of israel, the 7th Of October is a dark day in our history. Well clarify what happened on the southern border and the area adjacent to the gaza strip. Everyone will need to provide answers, myself included. All of this will happen only after the war. Peter learner is a member of the defense forces. He joins us now live from tel aviv. Thank you for joining us. You had tanks and Tens Of Throws of soldiers on the border with gaza. The offense hasnt happened yet. Can you explain why not . There are two conditions for a ground oermgs. First would be the governments instruction to mobilize. We heard Benjamin Netanyahu speak yesterday. That relates to that decision yet to be made. The second would be the operational or the optimal conditions for advance. We did conduct overnight and you just reported, a large raid, limited in scope. It was an operation intended to create better determines for Ground Operations if that comes in. We engaged the enemy, killing some terrorists that were planning attacks against us. And were continuing operations on the ground to be prepared for that decision, if and when it comes. Can you tell me more about that targeted raid in Northern Gaza . I understand militant cells, Infrastructure FriftInfrastructure Terrorists were killed. Do you have numbers . Were picking up on the numbers. The fog of were and the immediate aftermath in an operation is clearing. We had engaged and the forces are reporting successes. No injuries or casualties to our forces. That implies we are operating with strength and precision and looking forward to the potential ground operation. The dimted sweep and clear operation, its demianing because there are explosive devices. Its seeking out positions, where they can ambush the forces. These types of operations and weve been doing them on a s smaller scale. They will accompany us. They are limited in scope. But they are lethal and targeted missions, intended for laying the groundwork for a Ground Invasion. We have spoken to experts on hamas, who believe the idf could be talking a in on a trip. Do you believe thats the case . Not at all. The situation on the ground is where hamas decided to launch a war against the people of israel. Killing over 4,000 people, and the number goes up as we collect bod d bodice from the field. They signed their own destiny. An organization, a governing authority. A terrorist army. They can no longer be allowed to have the luxuries of government. They cant be allowed to have the position of power to accumulate so much cools of terror. To launch attacks. Thats why the ids, Israel Defense forces is doing what we have supposed to do. Taking the war to them and not operating out of a false sense of luxury against our people. Any Terrorist Operation is a difficult one. They intentionally work against and beyond the realm of laws of conflict. A regular Military Works within the realm. They put the civil you knows at risk behind hospitals and behind u. N. Facilities. We intentionally do the opposite. We tell people to get out of the way. We announce were coming. Even at the risk of setting ourselves up. Its a long battle. This is what the Prime Minister was talking about and the military. This is a long war. It wont be over. Its not something were rushing into but going into with a clear head of our goals, our mission and how it needs to be done. I want to ask you about the Fuel Situation in gaza. Fuel is needed to keep the hospitals running. 35 have already closed. Cnn spoke to an analyst firm, who says its impossible to tell from the photo how about much fuel is in those tanks in gaza or what kind of fuel it is. Can i ask you what the idf is basing its claims on here that hamas has plenty of fuel . We know what is in the tanks. We have intelligence. We sections. We have information. Those arent the only tanks they have in the gaza strip. They have other reservoirs of fuel. If you have department on fuel energy, even though theres Solar Energy Panels on is the hospitals of gaza. All of the hospitals in gaza have solar panels. Why is hamas not giving the fuel to the people of gaza. Why is hamas hoarding the fuel they have and not supplying it to the United Nations . And my question to United Nations, is why arent you demanding fuel from hamas. One of your leagues is another spokesperson for the idf. Told cnn that hamas has been stealing and stockpiling oil. We cant find a tweet, apart from a deleted tweet threat. Can you give us more clarification on that . They put out an announcement. And probably for their own safety or caution or intimidation by hamas, they erased the announcement. It goes to show what kind of operational environment the United Nations are operating in in gaza. And instead of being Whit Whitewashers for hamas, they need to be clear on what is happening. They put out the announcement. Within a few minutes, they erased it. Its because hamas intimidated them. The only other we saw was no looting had taken place in any of its warehouses in the gaza strip. They tweeted it out. Before they put out any serious announcement, it goes through approvals. And i cant imagine it was some intern that tweeted out that hamas had come into one of the compounds and had taken fuel and medical supplies. Im not a spokesperson but they should be demanding that hamas give them fuel to continue the humanitarian operations. The same people that hamas are supposed to be protecting but arent. Peter lerner, we appreciate your time. Thanks very much. Israel is doubling down in its criticism of the u. N. Secretarygeneral. Officials are calling for gutierrezs resignation. He called the attacks appalling. Adding they followed years of occupation from the palestinians. The general sought to set the record straight. I am shocked by the misrepresentations by some of my statement of the Security Council. As if i was justifying Acts Of Terror by hamas. This is false. It was the opposite. Lets start with the comments. The u. N. Secretarygeneral trying to clarify his statement. At the same time, were seeing the Security Council failing to call for a ceasefire. Whats the latest . None of this is helping the situation on the ground. As you pressed the Idf Spokesperson there, you have a situation on the ground, where they say they are running out of fuel and will not have fuel for operations within hours. It will have to scale down or completely stop. Some of the assistance its doing inside of gaza. For decades, israelis have been at odds with the United Nations. It didnt take much to strike a nerve with israelis. This happened on tuesday, when gutierrez was speaking at the u. N. Security council. He was critical, saying there are violations taking place in gaza. Israelis calling for people to evacuate the north when they continue to bomb the
