Robert Card, 40, who is reported to have shot and killed 18 people and wounded 13 others in a quiet American town, was a former soldier with mental issues.
A state wide alert has been sounded for his capture, but the mass murderer remains on the lam, forcing the government in the state of Maine to impose a lockdown till Card is arrested or killed.
