Residents of Maine stay behind locked doors

Several homes were being searched and every lead pursued in the hunt for Card

Shocked and fearful Maine residents kept to their homes for a second night as hundreds of heavily armed police and FBI agents searched intensely for Robert Card, an Army reservist authorities say fatally shot 18 people at a bowling alley and a bar in the worst mass killing in state history.

Much of Thursday’s search focused on a property belonging to one of Card’s relatives in rural Bowdoin, where trucks and vans full of armed agents from the FBI and other agencies eventually surrounded a home. Card and anyone else inside were repeatedly ordered to surrender.

Several homes were being searched and every lead pursued in the hunt for Card. Authorities said he should be considered armed and dangerous and not approached.
