Maine State Police Col. William Ross said at a Thursday news conference there is a warrant out for Card's arrest in connection with the murder of eight identified individuals.

School districts canceled classes as investigators launched a massive manhunt, warning residents in and around Lewiston and its twin city, Auburn, to stay inside and lock their doors.

A shelter-in-place was also issued to nearby Bowdoin and Lisbon, after a vehicle believed to have been driven by Card was found overnight on a ramp in Lisbon.
