On October 25, 2023, Robert Card carried out a spree shooting in Lewiston, Maine, United States, resulting in the death of 18 individuals and injuries to 13 others. The initial attack occurred at the Just-in-Time Recreation bowling alley during a youth league event, followed shortly by a second shooting at the Schemengees Bar & Grille Restaurant. Subsequent to these events, Card escaped, prompting the Androscoggin County Sheriff's Office to initiate an extensive manhunt and release his photograph identifying him as the suspect.

Forty-nine hours later, on October 27, authorities discovered Card dead in a tractor-trailer near a recycling center in Lisbon, where he had been recently employed, due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The shooting is the tenth-deadliest in U.S. history and the deadliest in the history of Maine.
