On October 25, 2023, a gunman killed 18 people and injured 13 others during a shooting spree[4][5][6] at two locations in Lewiston, Maine, United States.[7] The first mass shooting was at the Just-in-Time Recreation bowling alley, during a youth league event, and the second occurred minutes later at the Schemengees Bar & Grille Restaurant.
The Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office released a photograph of the suspect, 40-year-old Robert Card, and an intensive manhunt commenced. An arrest warrant was issued, citing eight counts of murder. On October 27, he was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound near a recycling center in a tractor trailer nearby Lisbon, where he had recently worked.[8][9]
The shooting is the tenth-deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history,[10] as well as the deadliest of 2023 and the deadliest in the history of Maine.[11]
The shootings occurred on October 25, 2023, beginning at Just-In-Time Recreation, a Lewiston bowling alley, during a youth league event.[12] The shooter used a semi-automatic rifle chambered in . 308 Winchester[13] and equipped with an extended magazine and optic.[14] Police received the first emergency calls at 6:56 p.m. EDT.[15] Plainclothes officers using a nearby shooting range also heard the gunshots and responded.

Shortly after, at 7:08, a second shooting was reported at Schemengees Bar & Grille Restaurant, 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Just-In-Time.[15][17] Officers arrived at the scene two minutes later.[16] Eight people were killed at this location, seven of them inside the building and the eighth outside. Another three victims died later in a hospital.[15][16]
At 8:06, the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office and Maine State Police alerted residents of an active shooter. The sheriff’s office also released images of Card inside the bowling alley with a “high-powered assault-style rifle“, as well as an image of his 2013 Subaru Outback, warning residents that the shooter was “armed and dangerous”.[16][18][19][20][21]
The Central Maine Medical Center coordinated with local area hospitals to take in victims.[22][23] Several were taken to the Maine Medical Center in Portland, the largest hospital in the state.[24][25]
