Chilling mystery note found at trashed home of Maine massacre suspect Robert Card as manhunt stretches to third day

COPS discovered a chilling note at the home of Maine massacre suspect Robert Card as the nationwide manhunt stretches into its third day.

Investigators made the discovery of what could be a "suicide" letter the day after the crazed US Army reservist allegedly gunned down 18 people and injured 13 more.

Cops said today that the 40-year-old has been charged with eight counts of murder following the deadliest US mass shooting of 2023.

He is expected to be charged with more as the remaining 10 bodies are officially identified.

Police have warned the public not to approach him, saying he is armed and dangerous, as .

Investigators are trying to determine if the mysterious note found at his home provides a motive or any answers to the bloodbath on Wednesday night.

Law enforcement officials told the note was being described as a suicide letter addressed to the suspect's son.

The details of the mystery note have not yet been revealed.

Card is accused of being the shooter, who armed with an AR-15-style rifle,  and bar in Lewiston.

Just before 7pm on Wednesday, the gunman stormed the Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley and opened fire before making his way over to Schemengees Bar and Grille minutes later to do the same, Maine State Police said.

Haunting surveillance footage shows a man taking aim at women and children with an AR-15-style assault rifle that appeared to be fitted with a flashlight and scope.

Victims have started to be named, including a long-time bowling instructor Bob Violette, who bravely died protecting children.

Last night, a convoy of armoured police vehicles surrounded a home in Bowdoin, Main and were heard calling for the suspect to come out.

"Robert Card, you're under arrest. Come out now," officers yelled through a megaphone.
