Maine Mass Shooting Suspect’s Body Found at Site Where He Had Worked

The body of the man suspected of killing 18 people in a shooting spree in Maine was discovered at a recycling facility where he had worked, after its owner asked authorities to return to search a parking lot across the street. Robert Card, the suspect in the worst mass shooting in the U.S. this year, was found Friday dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in the third trailer that police searched on the lot. He had two firearms with him, in addition to the long gun he had left behind in a white Subaru station wagon. Police didn’t say what types of guns were found with his body. All of the guns were purchased by Card legally, authorities said.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8
