At least 22 people were killed at a local bowling alley with dozens more injured on Wednesday night, according to local law enforcement.

Card was a trained firearms instructor and was believed to be in the Army Reserve.

Just weeks before the bloody massacre Card made threats to carry out a shooting at a National Guard facility in Saco, Maine.

In a bulletin put out by the Maine Information and Analysis Center, a database for law enforcement officials said Card “recently reported mental health issues to include hearing voices and threats to shoot up the National Guard Base in Saco, Maine.”

 Lewiston police said he “should be considered armed and dangerous.” 

The bowling alley where the tragedy took place, Just-In-Time-Recreation, just released a statement on the shooting.

“None of this seems real, but unfortunately it is. We are devastated for our community and our staff. We lost some amazing and whole hearted people from our bowling family and community last night.”

The statement continues, “There are no words to fix this or make it better. We praying for everyone who has been affected by this horrific tragedy. We love you all and hold you close in our hearts.”
