Maine Republican blames mass shooting on law expanding abortion access
Quick Glance: Maine Republicans Censured Over Connecting Mass Shooting to God's Wrath on Abortion Law

  • Following discussions on a new legislative proposal, Michael Lemelin and Shelley Rudnicki were formally reprimanded by the chamber.

  • Initial remarks triggered swift bipartisan condemnation in Maine's Democrat-led House of Representatives.

  • A censure vote by the House resulted in both legislators being barred from speaking or voting until issuing apologies.

Maine shootings: Here’s what we know about the victims so far
Quick Glance: Maine shooting suspect found dead, ending 2-day manhunt
  • The man believed to have killed 18 people and wounded 13 others in a Maine city on Wednesday has been found dead, state officials confirmed Friday night.

  • Maine Governor Janet Mills said Robert Card's body was found in Lisbon, a town about 12 kilometers east of Lewiston where the shootings took place.

  • Card, 40, was a U.S. Army reservist who opened fire at Schemengees Bar and Grille and at Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley in Lewiston on Wednesday night and then fled both scenes.

  • A bulletin sent to police across the country shortly after the attack, which was viewed by the Associated Press, said Card had been committed to a mental health facility for two weeks this past summer after 'hearing voices and threats to shoot up' a military base.
