LISBON, Maine - The suspect in Maine's worst mass shooting ever was found dead Friday night of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Public Safety Commissioner Mike Sauschuck said the body of Robert Card, 40, of Bowdoin, was found around 7:45 p.m. near a recycling center where he used to work. Police said his body was found about a mile from where he'd parked his white Subaru.

Multiple law enforcement agencies had been searching for Card since Wednesday night when he gunned down more than 30 people, killing 18, at two different locations in Lewiston.
