18 people dead and 13 injured.

Well, that's America for you. Mass shootings can happen anywhere in the U.S.
Even in small states like Maine with a population of 1.3 million.

More guns in America than people.

Col. William G. Ross of the Maine State Police on Thursday provided a timeline of events that unfolded around Wednesday's mass shootings in Lewiston, Maine.

Here's how he detailed it:

October 25, approximately 6:56 p.m. ET: The Auburn communications center received a 911 call of a male shooting in "Just-In-Time" or the "Sparetime Recreation Center" in the town of Lewiston.

At about 7:08 p.m. ET: The communications center received multiple 911 calls about an active shooter inside a Schemengees Bar and Grille in Lewiston.

"A large law enforcement response from the multiple surrounding agencies assisted the Lewiston Police Department in trying to identify who this individual was and what was happening. As you can imagine, this was a very fast-paced, fast-moving, very fluid scene, very dangerous scene that these guys and girls were going into," Ross said.

Sgt. 1st Class Robert Card, a person of interest in two mass shootings on Wednesday night in Lewiston, Maine, is a petroleum supply specialist in the Army Reserve, according to records provided by the Army on Thursday.

Card enlisted in December 2002 and has had no combat deployments, according to his record. He is the recipient of standard military awards, including the Army Achievement Medal, two Army Reserve Component Achievement medals, the Humanitarian Service Medal, a National Defense Service Medal and the Army Service Ribbon.

A manhunt continues for Card, who authorities say should be "considered armed and dangerous," Thursday morning.

Card is a certified firearms instructor and a member of the US Army Reserves, law enforcement officials in Maine told CNN. He had recently threatened to carry out a shooting at a National Guard facility in Saco, Maine, and reported mental health issues, including hearing voices, the officials said.

This Card guy went RAMBO in Lewiston, Maine. A Rambo with serious mental health issues. Yikes.
