Robert R. Card II of Bowdoin, Sagadahoc County, Maine, United States was in the U.S. Army Reserve stationed out of Saco, York County, Maine. He was a certified firearms instructor.

While Card had no combat deployments, he had extensive training, including firearms training and land navigation. He received an Army Service Ribbon, the Army Achievement Medal, two Army Reserve Component Achievement Medals, the Humanitarian Service Medal and the National Defense Service Medal.

While training at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York, USA, Card was committed to Keller Army Community Hospital at the academy for medical evaluation on July 16, 2023. This was after he reported hearing voices and threatened to carry out a shooting at the National Guard Base in Saco.

After two weeks, Card was released. At around 6:56 p.m. on October 25, 2023, he allegedly used a high-powered assault-style rifle to open fire at the Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley and Schemengees Bar & Grille Restaurant in Lewiston, Androscoggin County, Maine, killing at least 18 people and injuring least 13 people.

At 9:56 p.m., Card’s white 2013 Subaru Outback was found at the Pejepscot Boat Launch in Lisbon, Androscoggin County but he was not inside. On October 26, 2023, authorities found at his residence in Bowdoin a suicide note addressed to his son.

On October 27, 2023, Card was found dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a recycling center in Lisbon. He was 40.
