FOG BLOG U.S. LOG: ROBERT CARD 40 KILLS 18 , INJURES 13 IN MURDEROUS RAMPAGE IN LEWISTON MAINE!

  • An intensive manhunt is still underway for a suspect in Wednesday's shooting rampage at a bowling alley and a restaurant that left at least 18 dead and 13 injured in Lewiston, Maine, according to authorities.

  • Robert Card, 40, is facing an arrest warrant for eight counts of murder and should be considered armed and dangerous, police said. He is a certified firearms instructor and a member of the US Army Reserves, according to law enforcement.

  • Police are urging residents to shelter in place and report any suspicious activity to authorities. Lewiston is the state's second-largest city and is located about 36 miles north of Portland.

  • The rampage in Maine is the deadliest US mass shooting since the Uvalde school massacre. It adds to a grim docket of 565 such incidents, where four or more people are shot excluding the shooter, across the country this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. Bryan MacFarlane, 40, was participating in a cornhole tournament at Schemengees Bar and Grille Restaurant when he was killed during Wednesday’s mass shooting in Lewiston, his sister Keri Brooks told CNN.

MacFarlane, who’s part of the local deaf community, usually goes to Schemengees on Wednesdays where other deaf people gather to play cornhole, Brooks said.

Brooks found out about MacFarlane’s passing Thursday morning after police showed up at her mother’s door to notify the family.

“I grew up in Maine and the deaf community is a tight-knit community,” Brooks said. “Not only was my brother slain but my friends were too,” she said, speaking about the other victims she has learned about.

MacFarlane grew up in the Greater Portland Maine area but had only recently moved back to the state, his sister told CNN.

According to Brooks, her brother was one of the first deaf people in the state of Vermont to get his commercial trucking driver's license.

“Many states don’t let deaf drive trucks so I’m very proud of him for achieving that. He worked as a truck driver for several years,” Brook said.

MacFarlane also loved riding his motorcycle and hanging out with his dog named M&M, Brooks added.

MacFarlane leaves behind his mother and his sister.
