armed police surrounding a home in bowdoin, maine, as they search for the suspect behind a deadly mass shooting. police on megaphones heard yelling "come out with your hands in the air." it's not clear who was in the home 24 hours after last night's shooting. >> we have an active shooter. we have multiple injuries. >> jericka: gunfire rang out shortly before 7:00 p.m. wednesday at just-in-time recreation bowling alley, the first of two shooting scenes in lewiston, maine. seven people were killed. a witness described the chaos. >> i just booked it down the lane and slid, basically into where the pins are and climbed up into the machine and was on top of the machine for about 10 minutes until the cops got there. >> jericka: minutes later, at 7:08 p.m., frantic 911 calls began streaming and with reports of an active shooter at schemengees bar & grille, 4 miles away. eight people there were found dead. more than a dozen people were injured in both shootings. three victims later died at the hospital. >> we had approximately 100 team members who are off-duty come into the hospital to help ensure that we are able to care for not only the patients that we received, from these horrible scene, but also take care of the patients that we had there. >> jericka: multiple law enforcement agencies, including the fbi and state police, responded to the scenes, searching for the suspect, 40-year-old army reservist robert card, shown in these surveillance photos carrying a semiautomatic rifle. >> he should be considered armed and dangerous. based on our investigation, we believe this is someone that should not be approached. >> jericka: three hours after the shooting began, police discovered an suv registered to the suspect at a boat launch in the town of lisbon. residents in three communities were advised to shelter in place. today many schools and businesses were closed. >> this is a dark day for maine. >> jericka: the mass shooting has shattered a sense of security in maine, considered one of the safest states in the country. governor janet mills spent years working in lewiston. >> this city did not deserve this terrible assault on its citizens, on its peace of mind, on its sense of security. no city does. no state. no people. >> jericka: with that multistate manhunt underway, residents here are still being told to shelter in place tonight. investigators are looking into a possible motive into the shootings, including why the two locations for the attacks were chosen. cbs's jeff pegues has learned new details about the suspect's military, experience as well as his history of mental illness. >> reporter: cbs news has learned that investigators are looking into whether robert card was targeting his current or former girlfriend in last night's mass shooting. sources say he went to the bowling alley first and then the bar nearly 4 miles away. it's unclear if the person was at either location. today, police also found a note at the gunman's house, though it is unclear what it says. >> this is an all-hands-on-deck approach. >> reporter: law enforcement officials say card is an army reservist. the army says he enlisted in the reserves in 2002 and is now a sergeant first class. he worked as a petroleum supply specialist and has had no combat deployments. in july of this year, card was with his unit at west point when leaders reported that he was acting erratically. new york state police took him to an army hospital for an evaluation. a maine law enforcement bulletin said that card was released about two weeks later. the alert also noted card was hearing voices and had threatened to shoot up a military installation in southern maine. card's cousin, michael mercier. >> he's got a lot of problems up in his head right now. one of them is schizophrenic. >> reporter: tom chittum, a former associate deputy director of the atf, says despite the mental evaluation, federal law would not prohibit card from having such a weapon. >> simply being diagnosed with a mental health disorder is not disqualifying, and neither is a commitment when it is voluntary. or a brief commitment for observation. >> reporter: last night, investigators found card's vehicle at a boat launch. sources say law enforcement is searching for a boat that he could have used to escape. >> he has a military background and may have an advantage, but keep in mind, many of these law enforcement officers, they are hunters, they are fishermen, and they have military backgrounds, as well. >> reporter: the gunman was heavily armed for this assault. investigators believe that he may have used an extended magazine, as well as a scope. a firearm was recovered in that abandoned vehicle, and jericka, intelligence sources are telling cbs news that they believe that that recent breakup may have been a significant destabilizing event in the gunman's life. that said, there is still no clear motive right now for this shooting. >> jericka: all right, jeff pegues for us tonight, thank you. president biden ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff in memory of the victims, noting that the number of gun deaths in america is "not normal and we

they had been married for almost seven years. >> he has helped me raise my children since they were very, very little. you know, his daughter is only 13, and without a dad because of all of this. because of one man's choices. now my daughter has to grow up without a father. >> reporter: 76-year-old bob violette was an avid bowler who was teaching kids at just-in-time recreation bowling alley when the shooting happened, according to cbs boston station wbz. lewiston resident paul englehart knew violette. >> he was actually kind of like a mentor to the young kids that were there yesterday as a bowling coach. a wonderful man. great man. i mean, i would not be able to say a bad word about him. >> reporter: many people in this quiet town of 38,000 woke up to the news that someone they knew had been killed, and tonight, they are trying to process the loss. >> just, everybody pray. pray for those that are hurt. >> reporter: friends and family of arthur strout have gathered tonight outside the family home to show their support, and jericka, arthur's wife tells us that their daughter's birthday is coming up on halloween. >> jericka: so many horrific stories, elaine, i know you have been here all day covering this for us, thank you. we will have more news from maine later in the broadcast, but right now let's go to cbs's adriana diaz in washington for the rest of today's top stories.

gaza in their hunt for hamas militants. cb's charlie d'agata is in tel aviv, where the military is preparing for the next stage of the war. >> reporter: israeli defense forces released this overnight footage said to show its tanks crossing into northern gaza, conducting a targeted raid. armored bulldozers paved the way. tanks opened fire on suspected hamas targets before withdrawing. the idf described the operation as preparations for the next stage of combat. but even before that next stage begins, is the question of what comes next. growing concerns about israel's long-term strategy after invading gaza. one reason the u.s. has dispatched lieutenant general james glynn as a top advisor here. a specialist in urban warfare, on the battlefields of fallujah, and mosul, in iraq. in gaza today, with the death toll mounting to more than 7,000, according to officials there. so, too, is the sadness, anger, and desperation. they count the shrouded bodies, even as more arrive. at least 50 hostages are among those killed, hamas health officials claim tonight, victims of israeli bombardment. cbs news can't independently verify those numbers. locating the remaining captives hidden in the maze of tunnels beneath gaza will be extremely difficult, says former israeli intelligence chief haim tomer. >> it is kind of a mission impossible, to find the hostages intelligencewise is very, very very difficult, almost on the line of impossible. >> reporter: best-case scenario, hamas releases at least some of the hostages. worst-case scenario doesn't end well for anyone. >> the moment you kidnapped babies and old ladies, there are no rules anymore. no rules. >> reporter: tonight, the israeli military spokesman said the army will continue to conduct limited raids, including tonight, and they will continue all the more forcefully in the coming days. adriana? >> adriana: thank you, charlie, and your team. back here in washington, the new speaker of the house, louisiana republican mike johnson, met with president biden today at the white house. until now, the staunch conservative was little known outside his state and party, and as nikole killion reports, he is remaining tight-lipped about some of his positions. >> reporter: on his second day on the job, speaker mike johnson continued to dodge questions about his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. do you believe the 2020 election was stolen, sir, just yes or no? after the election, johnson, in coordination with then-president donald trump, recruited more than 100 republicans to sign onto a brief supporting a lawsuit to overturn the results. he also promoted conspiracy theories about rigged voting machine software in a radio interview. >> when you have, you know, a software system that is used all around the country that is suspect because it came from hugo chavez's venezuela. >> reporter: democrats are concerned johnson could again try to block certification of the electoral college results next year if president biden wins again. >> his track record, with respect to trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election, speaks for itself. >> reporter: johnson's opponents are also singling out his views on abortion rights. >> there is no right to abortion in the constitution, period. >> reporter: before entering office, johnson called abortion "a holocaust that has been repeated every day for 32 years, since 1973's roe vs. wade." as a congressman, he has cosponsored at least three bills that would ban the procedure nationwide. do you intend to pursue a national abortion ban as speaker, sir? but he had nothing to say today about how he will govern going forward. johnson is also staunchly antigay rights. in 2004, he called homosexuality "inherently unnatural" and voted against legalizing same-sex marriage. moderate republicans argue that despite views they may disagree with, he'll be an efficient speaker. >> and he recognizes the need that irrespective of prior positions, he is going to have to weave us together towards a common goal. >> reporter: several republican lawmakers told us they don't think speaker johnson will inject his personal views into his new role. for his part, johnson also expressed a willingness to work across the aisle, calling his meeting today with president biden productive. adriana? >> adriana: nikole killion, thank you.
