The suspected gunman who killed 18 people in the US state of Maine has been found dead, law enforcement officials tell NBC News.
A 48-hour manhunt was launched for Robert Card, 40, after a shooting at the Just-In-Time bowling alley and Schemengees Bar and Grille in Lewiston on Wednesday night.
Among those who were killed included Joshua Seal, a father-of-four, who was described by his wife as the “world’s best father”, and Bill and Aaron Young, a father and his 14-year-old son.
A further 13 people were injured.
It is believed Card died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, a law enforcement official said.
The search for the Army reservist spread across multiple locations in the state and involved at least 80 FBI agents and Coast Guard personnel.
He was considered “armed and dangerous” with police advising the public not to approach him “under any circumstances”.
