Today the pentagon was finally forced to admit the details of the growing number of attacks on u. S. Troops in the middle east. So far iran affiliated organizations have launcheds 12 attacks against our troops in iraq and another 4 in syria. Now, the news comes as israels ramping up its strategic strikes inside gaza ahead of a fullfledged ground invasion. We will have a live report from jerusalem in moments. But we start tonight in lewiston, maine, where police have launched a massive manhunt for the man suspected of killing 18 people go different locations. Surveillance video showed an individual heavily armed at the scene of these shootings. He was later identified as robert card, an army reservist, with documented Mental Health issues. Now, at this hour, the search for the alleged killer continues. Of course, as darkness falls, temperature drops, Law Enforcement sources tell fox that there are multiple Surveillance Aircraft scouring the area that are equipped with heat sensing technology. Now, what makes this effort more difficult is the training, the myrtle training that card has. Plus, this detail that we learned late today, Law Enforcement believing that mr. Card had planned this attack well in advance and actually had several hiding spots selected in order to elude authorities. For more on where things stand at this hour we go live to the ground where fox news correspondent molly line is standing by in lewiston. Mollie, i know there is a flurry of activity at two properties that are afilling affiliated w. What can you tell us. Absolutely. Things are noisy over there still looking for card. Essentially his hometown about 16 miles from here at bowdoin where his family owns a number of properties there have been flash bangs heard in that area. Its essentially a Law Enforcement tactic in an effort to draw him out. The only thing is that he may not be there at all. But so essentially they are looking through that hometown 1o shootings occurred in lewiston, maine at the two different sites. One at a Bowling Alley and pool hall restaurant. 18 killed. Many others injured some fighting for their lives to potentially draw card out tonight, there have been a number of things happening throughout the day. They have been looking in the roads. Shut down. Ongoing effort. Things all began unfolding yesterday at 6 56 p. M. Lewiston Police Responding to those two incidents. By 8 00, the Maine State Police announced an active shooter situation. By 10 officials are warning residents to avoid the area until an allclear is given that did not happen. By 10 25 the a and degree sco nd as a person of interest. Another thing of particular note, the coast guard also involved in this search, they are up in the sky over the boot behar bore area earlier this evening. Notably cards vehicle, a subaru was found in lisbon about 15 minutes here from lewiston. The lisbon river runs through there. There are rivers, there are woods, there are lakes. This is a very tough area to search a lot of nooks and craneys gets into what you are talking about about the Law EnforcementCommunications Internal Communications revealing that card is a Firearms Instructor in the army reserves. And then you mentioned those Mental Health issues. Those internal information from Law Enforcement he was Hearing Voices and actually committed to receiving Mental Health care a few weeks over the summer. But he remains Armed And Dangerous and as you mentioned, laura, highlighting his background and the type of skills that he may have as he continues to elude capture at this hour. Laura joining me now is chris swacer former fbi assistant director paul mauro and head of internal operations at nypd. Chris, now Authorities Say they reportedly want to take him alive. How difficult is that going to be given what looks like his planning and mental state authorities are aware of. There is a lot about this case that is extremely disturbing in the runup. Yeah, laura, its a highly lethal combination that Mental Illness, welltrained military from the army. Is he a Firearms Instructor. He is desperate. He has already killed in a mass shooting innocent people who probably just froze. A lot more in most cases more wounded than killed. In this case its the reverse. So he knows what he is doing. He is not going to be taken alive. Laura well, paul, as we noted the suspect has this long list of mental issues including Hearing Voices. He allegedly made threats to shoot up the National Guard base in maine. And, according to the a. P. , he was committed to a Mental Health facility in july, after acting very erratically while he was at west point where he was training cadets. One of his unit mates described him as one of the best rifle men in the entire unit. So, this is, again, former head of nypd how did we not have any of these red flags sooner to stop this massacre . Well, there were a lot of red flags. Just to be clear, maine has what is known as a yellow flag law. And under the yellow flag laws, the only people that can refer somebody like this guy to a civil court in order to overcome the Second Amendment and take his firearms away from him are Law Enforcement. Red flag laws, Family Members can do it, other people who are positioned to see that he is sliding off the deep end, and get the guns away from him. Its a you need due process and its not a simple process. New york has this procedure. Maine, however, had what was believed to be maybe the model for the future because it was only going to be Law Enforcement as in the police or prosecutors now, it is coming to light that maybe he did have a brush with Law Enforcement relative to this Mental Health issue that he had in the twoweek stay in july in a Mental Health facility. These are questions people are going to be looking back on. But the most important thing now is to try to get this guy and as chris said, there is a lethal combination between the training he has not only militarily but his outdoor training. Is he an outdoorsman and he knows the terrain up there. Is he wellequipped. You can see he was wearing combat gear. His pockets were bloimging with extra magazines. This guy is not going to go easily, the task force up there has their work cut out for them. Now, chris, given the fact that we know he was involved in advanced planning for these horrific murders that took place, and also hiding places, how dangerous is it for the authorities searching for him . I mean, someone like him, if is he Hearing Voices, you could see he would turn himself into a sniper against the police and other Law Enforcement in search of him. First of all, they found the car by the dock, by the river. He either jumped into a switch car and is he hundreds and hundreds of miles away or he went into the woods. I think its highly likely he went into the woods. Law enforcement is going to have to go in and get him. They are going to have to set up a large perimeter which they already have. They have ariel access. Like rudolph the olympic bomber, he knows the area better than the authorities. He hunts in that area. Its likely he prepositioned hideouts throughout the area with ammunition as well, supplies. Law enforcement is going to have to go in and get him. As you say, he had the advantage. Eric rudolph later said he would hide in the woods and Law Enforcement would come within 10, 15 yards of him, never saw him. So he could pick officers off if theyre not careful. Its going to have to be a tactical operation over a huge area. It may take a long time, which means resources, eventually start melting away. So i think he again, i think he is in the woods somewhere. People go like there, go where they are familiar i dont see him meandering around the country in a car. Laura paul, do you agree with that . I assume they have dogs on premises. They are drawing down at the various locations where they know he has affiliations with certain properties. Tell us what that means. So, you know, there is this reporting that some flash bangs were heard. He used the flash bangs to do dramatic entries generally for a couple of reasons. One if you think you are walking into booby traps. You do it for that and also to flush out of the suspect. Another treason stun any animals usually a dog. It doesnt hurt the dog. Do this humanely and the dog is stunned and corral him in a humane way. The family has a number of properties. They want to make sure he is not in there. My understanding they are drawing down from there up in maine right now. It looks like that might have been an empty well. I think i would have to agree if we had to make a call right now, i think he is going to go to whats familiar. We know he is an outdoorsman. We know he had become recently paranoid. The reporting is that he has been losing his hearing and that he has been hearing these voices, more or less at the same time contemporaneous with losing his hearing. The reporting now that is coming out the voices he was hearing he was contending to relatives were people at the two locations that he went shooting at he heard in his head people talking about him. So, i think you get somebody here. You are starting to see an image of somebody who is increasingly isolated. Somebody who is hearing things nobody else is hearing. He has an edge against the world. Doesnt strike me as somebody who is very sophisticated. Going to start going all over the country. They would be tracking his credit cards. Obviously if his phone goes on they will hit that i think he is likely in the woods. Places is he familiar with that turns this thing almost into a military operation. Well, he might have a police scanner, we will learn about this as the night and lets hope it quick, the time goes on. Chris and paul, thank you. Liberals, of course, prefer to dwell on shootings that occur every weekend and places like chicago or oakland or baltimore. No, of course they dont. Places with tough gun laws have huge Crime Problems in the United States. But, of course, if there is a horrible shooting committed by a crazed lunatic in small town america as we have now, they are going to jump on the opportunity to try to take guns out of the hands of lawabiding citizens. We must continue to speak to speak truth about the moment we are in. Gun violence has terrorized and trtraumatized some of our communities in this country. Let us be clear, it does not have to be this way. As our friends in australia have demonstrated. Laura now, lets take a look at what australia has actually done. In 1996, the country launched a huge crackdown on gun ownership. Outlawing automatic and semiautomatic rifles and shotguns. They also launched a mandatory nationwide gun buy back, more than 640,000 guns were destroyed that year. And in order to own a gun in australia you need to have a, quote, genuine reason for having one. And to go even further, they are right now trying to create a national gun registry. Joining me now is Colleen Noir Advocate and attorney. Is Kamala Signaling A Gun Grab Their gun grab. She was asked in interview if she believed in mandatory buy Back Euphemism for a confiscation. And she basically said yes, thats exactly what i want to do. But they like to use these euphemisms to fool a lot of people in the masses so they dont realize that a gun buy back a mandatory gun by back is Gun Confiscation which is exactly what they did in australia. They called it a buy back but mandatory which a confiscation what was interesting today and looking through the coverage of what was happening individuals barricaded in their homes come out to talk to police and come out and talk to the media, and so many of them were saying thank you for being here to the police, i wish i owned a funeral. I saw that three or four times today. I think when people feel vulnerable, they wish they could defend themselves. Yeah, see. The irony here is maine is considered the second most safest state in the country. They also are considered one of the most progun states in the country. The thing is, though, when you live in a very safe environment, sometimes, we get lulled into complacency and we think that we are safe because we feel safe which doesnt necessarily mean you are safe. Then, when you start to realize maybe i should have a firearm, its usually happens when its too late. And so thats why you have individuals now saying well now there is a manhunt going on and the police dont know where he is. And now you are at home. You dont have a firearm and have you no means to protect yourself and neither County Police because they are too busy looking for the guy. So, thats the one thing that i have always tried to hamper on people with the Second Amendment. Its there to give you the ability to protect you and your family. And i just wish that people would understand that but, because of the semantics and the games that the left likes to play with respect to the Second Amendment, they fall into the this Belief System that nobody needs a firearm. Until you do. And at that point its too late. Laura you have to go to the government to justify your exercising your inalienable rights which is not way the founders understood it. Colion thank you so much. My commentary on why the activism on the left right now could produce a fatal schism for the democrats. Stay there. This is our last chance to help Save Thousands of Holocaust Survivors who are suffering in the former soviet union today. The needs that these forgotten jews have are something beyond anything you can imagine. Have you eaten this morning . I ate the carrot, so i ate half of it yesterday. And this is what she ate in two days, one carrot. Please pray for me the International Fellowship of christians and jews began this ministry to help elderly jews living in horrible poverty around the world. We urgently need your gift of 25 now to help provide one Survival Food Box with all of the foods they critically need for their diet for one month. When you call right now, your gifts impact will be doubled to help save lives. I have a tremendous love for israel and the jewish people. This is why im partnering with the fellowship. It gives me a way to authentically bless jewish people in need around the world. I believe in god, but i sometimes feel maybe he forgot me. Perhaps you could tell my story and i will find a matching soul that would understand. I face hunger again. Please dont delay. Call, scan, or go online now to help rush one Survival Food Box to a holocaust survivor. When you call right now, your gifts impact will be doubled to help save lives. This is what god wants from us. Just feed the hungry. If you hear gods voice, im asking you to act now. Do it when its on your heart. I pray that theyll know in their final months that theyre not alone. Frankly to the american states men who are now managing the genocide in palestine. We do not welcome to expansion of the war in the region. But, if the general sides in gaza continue, they will not be spared f this fire. Ratcheting up the rhetoric against the United States. He was threatening us as troops, of course, were preparing a full scale invasion into gaza, israeli troops. Trace gallagher are they deterred at all from these threats by iran. Trace israelis and United States both taking a very big focus on this, laura. You have to keep in mind in just the past 8 days there have been 16 attacks against middle eastern u. S. Military facilities including 12 in iraq and four in syria. In those attacks we are talking about 21 Military Personnel that have been injured, including some of them with temporary brain injuries. We didnt know about any of these attacks until just a few days ago and now you have the pentagon moving Missile Defense systems this way as well as Military Personnel. President biden keeps telling iran dont, dont, dont. And yet iran they do. And they keep doing. The incursion that happened today in israel was the biggest Ground Movement since day one of the war. Were talking about a significant number of Israeli Defense forces along with tanks going into gaza for specific purposes of targeting certain Terror Targets. This is all in preparation for the impending ground war. The question is when will that stop . I talked to a family today whose son is being held hostage in gaza by hamas. And they say they are not political but they would really like this ground delay to hang on for a while, to give them time for, one, to bring some weapons in, Defense Systems in, and, two, to bring the hostages out. But, meantime, laura, when you look at the overall picture, its not like you
