Heard a rumor about this name, which I won't post because it's just a rumor, but it's a regular old white guy name.

I guess he's planning on dying tonight.

As long as people want to pretend that the GOP and the Democrats are equally bad, this will never happen.

Not surprised. Guessing he’s got a history of DV too.

ID'd as Robert Card. That's the shooter's name.

The Portland Press Herald is reporting that a 40 year old named Robert Card is a suspect, driving a white Subaru Outback, manhunt under way. I presume ID’d by the photos that have been circulating. I am in Maine and someone sent my teenage son several videos of an arrest taking place in Auburn (right next to Lewiston), but at least at a distance it doesn’t look like the same guy and none of the major news outlets are reporting it, so I have no idea what’s actually going on in that video. This is so unspeakably heartbreaking.

Maine has one of the laxest gun laws in the country. Amazing this guy could go to mutiiple locations, open fire, and not one "good guy with a gun" could take him out.

My joking sympathies to all of the other Robert Cards whose lives are going to be very annoying briefly.

My real sympathies to the families of the deceased and injured. I’m sorry that the GOP loves its gun money more than it appreciates a safe healthy populace.

And more sympathies to thousands of people who are tonight remembering their mass shooting experiences and wondering where their loved ones would be now. May PTSD flares be brief and may good memories comfort them.

Tell me what it's going to take.

It will take people not voting for republicans.

That is always the answer, PP.

Change the Constitution. Then it will take about 50 years to get maybe half the guns.

Can’t be done.

We don't need to change the constitution. We just need to change how we interpret "militia" - and gun buybacks and other methods can reduce the number of guns.

Once we decide to value human life.

And we need to take "well regulated" seriously

I don’t think they have him yet. There are some videos being circulated of an arrest (my son showed them to me) but I’m watching live coverage and they’re talking about the manhunt underway.
