这嫌犯罗伯特·卡德,仍然逍遥法外。
这拍摄在两个地方展开:保龄球馆儿童联盟正在举行和一家当地酒吧。
目击者讲述求生的艰难
枪击事件部分发生在当地保龄球馆的青年之夜。目击者描述了绝望的一幕人们藏在长凳和桌子后面,甚至藏在球道尽头的保龄球瓶机里。
梅根·哈钦森和她的女儿在保龄球馆,她说:“当我转身的时候,我看到了枪手。...我不知道那只是一次警告,还是他用那颗子弹射伤了人。”
“在车道之间有一些摆动的门,他们把所有的机械设备都放在后面,所以我们都只是往那边跑,”她说。“我们躲在那里,另一位家长和我在房间里。她有电话,她打了911。”
她的女儿,10岁的佐伊·莱维斯克被子弹擦伤。
“我从没想过我会长大后腿上中一枪,”她说。“就像,人们为什么要这样做?我更担心的是,我能活着离开这里吗?就像,会发生什么?警察会来吗?”
嫌疑人在家中的搜索逐渐停止
周四包围嫌疑人罗伯特·卡德的一处房产的大量警车已经离开。
随着大部分当局离开现场,在这一地点的搜索似乎已经安静下来。
一位熟悉鲍登搜查的消息人士告诉ABC新闻,今晚不可能在那个地方逮捕嫌疑人。
消息来源说,这次搜查和戏剧性的伴随事件是安全执行搜查令的标准程序的一部分。
警方在努力收集证据时会重复这样做。他们说他们会彻底追查每一条线索。
调查发现,嫌疑人在网上消费了“阴谋”内容
提供给执法部门的信息显示,罗伯特·卡德似乎在网上“与阴谋内容互动”。
他参与的话题包括但不限于对金融危机/股票市场的担忧、LGBTQ+问题、枪支权利和对民主党公职人员的评论,包括总统乔·拜登。
目前还不清楚他的社交媒体使用是否在嫌疑人决定周三晚上横冲直撞中发挥了任何作用。
执法部门还没有确定动机,但他们正在调查嫌疑人生活的几个方面,包括他的著作和精神健康问题的历史。
执法人员包围了鲍登的家,命令嫌疑犯“马上出来”
美国东部时间周四晚上7点左右,一队装甲警车排列在鲍登一所房屋附近的道路上。
“罗伯特·卡德,你被捕了。现在出来,”警察通过扩音器喊道。
“放下一切,到外面来...如果有人在住宅里,走到外面,走到车道前,”他们说。
缅因州警方发言人香农·莫斯在一份声明中表示,警方正在执行搜查令。
“目前还不知道罗伯特·卡德是否在执法部门将要搜查的任何住宅中。执法官员只是尽他们的职责,追踪每一条线索,努力找到并逮捕卡德,”她说。
了解调查情况的执法人员告诉ABC新闻,下午早些时候在嫌疑人罗伯特·卡德家中发现的一张纸条被描述为写给嫌疑人儿子的遗书。
消息人士称,这张纸条没有提供表明大规模枪击动机的信息。

Theshooting unfolded in two locations: a bowling alley where achildren's league was taking placeand a local bar, officials said.
Witnesses recount scramble to survive
The shooting unfolded in part during youth night at a local bowling alley.Witnesses described a desperate scenewhere people hid behind benches and tables and even inside the bowling pin machine at the end of a lane.
Meghan Hutchinson, who was at the bowling alley with her daughter said, "When I turned around, I saw the shooter. ... I don't know if that was just a warning shot or if he shot somebody with that [bullet]."
"Between the lanes there's some swinging doors where they keep all the mechanical stuff out back, so we kind of all just ran that way," she said. "We barricaded in there and another parent was in the room with me. She had a phone, she called 911."
Her daughter, 10-year-old Zoey Levesque, was grazed by a bullet.
"I never thought I'd grow up and get a bullet in my leg," she said. "Like, why do people do this? I was more worried about, like, am I going to live and going to make it out of here? Like, what's going to happen? Are the cops going to come?"
Search at home tied to suspect winds down
A large number of police vehicles that had surrounded a property tied to suspect Robert Card on Thursday have departed.
The search at this location seems to have gone quiet with most of the authorities having left the scene.
A source familiar with the search in Bowdoin tells ABC News there is no expectation the suspect will be apprehended at that location tonight.
The source said this search and the dramatic accompaniments were part of standard procedure for safely carrying out a search warrant.
Police will be doing this repeatedly as they work to retrieve evidence. They say they’re being thorough by tracking down every lead.
Suspect consumed 'conspiratorial' content online, investigation finds
Information provided to law enforcement shows that Robert Card appears to have "interacted with conspiratorial content" online.
Topics he engaged with included, but were not limited to, concerns about a financial crisis/stock market, LGBTQ+ issues, gun rights and commentary about Democratic public officials, including President Joe Biden.
It remains unknown whether any of his social media usage played any role in the suspect's decision to go on his rampage Wednesday night.
Law enforcement has not determined the motive, but they are looking into several aspects of the suspect's life, including his writings and history of mental health problems.

"Drop everything and come outside...If anyone is in the residence, walk outside and walk to the front of the driveway," they said.
Shannon Moss, a spokeswoman for the Maine State Police, said in a statement officers are conducting a search warrant.
"It is unknown whether Robert Card is in any of the homes law enforcement will search. Law enforcement officials are simply doing their due diligence by tracking down every lead in an effort to locate and apprehend Card," she said.
