CNN: Authorities find note from shooting suspect indicating that he didn't expect to be alive when it was found From CNN's John Miller Authorities found a note from the Maine shooting suspect, Robert Card, which indicated that Card didn't expect to be alive when it was found, the equivalent of a suicide note in some manner, a law enforcement official told CNN.
This is, in part, is why the investigation has shifted to searching nearby waterways, the law enforcement source said.
The note, described by the official, essentially gave information and instruction to others about where things could be found and disposed of — ultimately suggesting when it was found or read that Card would no longer be alive.
Authorities are following a natural progression of leads, including considering what next steps Card may have taken, and have begun preparations to search the water, particularly near the boat launch where Card’s vehicle was found.
Investigators searched Card’s car yesterday and recovered a .308-caliber AR-15 rifle, according to a law enforcement official. A second law enforcement official told CNN that the weapon is similar in description and caliber to the gun used in the attack.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will be conducting tests to determine whether the gun can be matched to bullets and shell casings recovered at the two shooting scenes.
Authorities executed at least three search warrants Thursday on Card's vehicle, home and another property, the source said, which informed Friday's search procedures.
I hope they find him soon. A cloud of fear hangs over everything there. It’s hard for all those people to be on lockdown this long. Consider Saturday weddings for starters.
BREAKING NEWS! Just got a note from PhD*Son in Maine (whose wife works at the Lewiston hospital). They found the shooter...dead. Unclear if he took his own life, but that's the most likely outcome.
CNN hasn't even mentioned it yet! So I asked PhD*Son where he heard it and he said it was announced over the PA system at the hospital! Excellent. I bet the staff cheered!
Suspect in Maine mass shootings is dead, sources tell CNN (From CNN's John Miller, Evan Perez and Josh Campbell)
Robert Card, the suspect in the Lewiston, Maine, shooting rampage, is dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, multiple sources tell CNN. Card was found in the woods near Lisbon, which is about eight miles from Lewiston, the same three sources said. He was found in an area near the recycling center from which he had been recently fired, a law enforcement source told CNN’s John Miller. Police have been searching for Card since the shootings on Wednesday evening. A news conference will be held at 10 p.m. ET.
KiKi's either caught the fairydiddle or scared it away--at any rate she's not showing any concern. From my point of view either is fine.

Increase is 3/100000. I'm not gonna worry.

I don't see how they could evaluate any risk so small. Operative word: "may."

Ya, I thought that, too. Plus there were five studies that showed nothing they could find.
