“Like many people I’m breathing a sigh of relief tonight knowing that Robert Card is no longer a threat to anyone,” Ms Mills said. Card, 40, of Bowdoin, Maine, had been sought since the Wednesday night shootings and murder warrants were issued against him. Ms Mills said she had called US President Joe Biden to alert him that Card was dead. “Tonight we’re grateful that Lewiston and surrounding communities are safe after spending excruciating days hiding in their homes,” Mr Biden said in a statement. Authorities say Card, who had firearms training, opened fire at the bar and a bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine’s second-largest city.
