Mayor is 'heartbroken'
Lewiston Mayor Carl Sheline said in a statement, "I am heartbroken for our city and our people. Lewiston is known for our strength and grit and we will need both in the days to come."
Lewiston is about 35 miles north of Portland, Maine.
A nurse at Maine Medical told ABC News the shooting unfolded at a bowling alley during its youth night.
"Maine Medical is on lockdown right now awaiting Lewiston patients," the nurse said. "They just called for [emergency department] nurses and critical care nurses to come in [and] set up three stretchers to each single critical care bay. They just got their first two patients -- both gunshot wounds to their thighs."
Army says suspect was not a firearms instructor
The U.S. Army released a statement Thursday evening about suspect Robert Card’s service record and refuted reports that he served as a firearms instructor.
Card was a reservist and assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 304th Infantry Regiment in Saco, Maine which had a training at West Point over the summer, according to Army spokesperson Bryce Dubee.
"While his unit supported West Point summer training in July of 2023, there are no records to indicate he instructed or participated in any training," Dubee said in a statement. "The Army did not train SFC Card as a firearms instructor, nor did he serve in that capacity for the Army."
