40-year-old Robert Card was named by the Lewiston, Maine, police department as the perpetrator of the carnage that took place on Wednesday night, local time, and resulted in the death of 22 people and the injury of at least 50 others.

Card is “considered armed and dangerous,” according to a police Facebook post, and remains at large after multiple shootings in the city. Authorities describe Card as a certified firearms instructor and member of the U.S. Army Reserves.

Here’s the full police statement:

“Law enforcement is attempting to locate Robert Card 4/4/1983 as a suspect in connection with the mass shooting at Schemengees Bar and Sparetime Recreation this evening. Card should be considered armed and dangerous. Contact law enforcement if you know his whereabouts.”

New Hampshire State Police are assisting in the search for Card with the use of their helicopter, state police spokeswoman Amber Lagais said.

Meanwhile, authorities spotted a suspicious vehicle in Lisbon, Maine, Mike Sosak, state commissioner for the Department of Public Safety, said during a briefing Wednesday night. Lisbon is about 8 miles southeast of the city of Lewiston, where the shooting occurred.

Residents in Lisbon and Lewiston are being asked to stay safe as authorities launch a manhunt for the shooter, Mike Sosak said. Public schools will not operate today, an official of the district’s school administration announced.

Sosak noted that the shooting began around 6:56 p.m. local time on Wednesday afternoon and the 40-year-old was spotted in at least three locations: a bowling alley and party, a restaurant-bar and a supermarket chain’s fulfillment center.

A photo released by police shows a white man with an AR-15-style rifle and a laser sight entering the Sparetime Recreation Center, wearing black military pants and a brown shirt. His face is clearly visible.

US President Joe Biden spoke by phone with Maine Gov. Janet Mills and members of Congress from the state, offering the full support of federal authorities to local law enforcement agencies after the massacre, which he described as horrific, according to his services in the White House.
