Two days following the massacre that left 18 dead in the US state of Maine, police found the body of the suspected shooter, according to media reports. She was discovered in a forest a good ten kilometers from the crime scene, CNN reported on Friday evening (local time). Accordingly, the 40-year-old’s head had a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound. Local police announced a press conference for 4 a.m. CET.
A gunman opened fire at a recreation center and a barbecue restaurant in the small town of Lewiston on Wednesday evening. He then escaped – and remained missing for a long time. The motive for the crime remains unknown. The police identified reserve soldier Robert C. as the suspected perpetrator. About ten kilometers from Lewiston, the police found the wanted man’s car, a white SUV, on a river near a boat launch.
On Friday evening (local time), the police lifted an order that had asked citizens in several communities to stay at home for safety reasons. Authorities also released the names of the 18 people who died. The youngest is 14 years old and the oldest is 76.
