Maine mass shooting suspect found dead - reports

A man suspected of killing 18 people in a shooting in Maine has been found dead after a three-day manhunt, reports say.

Suspect Robert Card, 40, was found dead on Friday night, according to CBS News, the BBC's partner in the US. A media briefing is expected in the next hour.

The news comes hours after police lifted a shelter in place order for the normally quiet community.

Among the dead are a grandfather, a talented young bowler, and four deaf locals, ranging in age from 14 to 76.

It is unclear where his body was found or how he died.

Police are due to hold a news conference from Lewiston City Hall around 22:00 EDT (03:00 GMT).
