and you just -- get to know these victims and every family's worst nightmare tragically empty chair at every christmas or thanksgiving. the trauma for the community is going to be real and it's going to require an enormous amount of healing. right now the goal is to allow law enforcement to do their job. we have to find the shooter. we have to make sure that we both separate the witnesses, talk to the witnesses and get all the evidence because this is most likely going to end up, obviously, in court with a criminal prosecution each fully confident they will prosecute this individual to the fullest extent of the law. >> todd: we appreciate both of you coming on. obviously a very busy morning. it continues on "fox & friends." they take over right now. >> steve: good morning, everybody. it is thursday, october 26th,

2023. 6:00 here in new york city. why start with this fox news alert. we begin this hour following breaking news here at home and abroad as well. >> ainsley: a manhunt is underway in maine this hour for the gunman who opened fire on a bar and a bowling alley. a law enforcement source tells fox news the shooter killed at least 22 people and injured dozens of others. >> brian: and in the middle east, the israeli military says it's conducted its largest ground raid in northern gaza so far in the war. the idf warns hamas this is only the beginning. >> lawrence: so we have live team coverage on the mass shooting and how police are conducting the search. todd piro is in studio about what we know with the person of interest but we begin with molly line who is on the ground. what is law enforcement telling you? >> good morning. we are outside of the central maine medical center where it has been a long night for the

medical personnel involved trying to help the victims of this shooting scenes. the two shooting scenes, these mass shootings. we have watched as the armed law enforcement officials here that surround this building have also worked to escort the nurses and the doctors and surgeons back and forth to their cars or folks that are coming in standing by, standing vigil here determined to keep this medical facility safe. everything began town fold yesterday evening 6:56. lewiston began to respond to incidents one at bowling alley and another bar. active shooting situation lewiston. by 10:00 officials warn to avoid the area until authorities give the all-clear by 10:25. >> cran25 countyofficials issuee shelter in place order. police named robert card as a person of interest in this case. 40 years old.

he lives in a nearby town. >> that is relevant because the car that is also in question here a white subaru was found in nearby lisbon on the way to card's hometown. >> this is a wooded area. a small community but surrounded by a significant amount of woods. and swamp land and lakes and rivers. there is really a tremendous amount of nooks and crannies in this maine landscape. we're beginning to hear from witnesses as well. many of which are telling horrific stories of chaos and how they survived. listen. >> inside and bowling and out of nowhere he just came in and i heard a loud pop. i thought it was a balloon. i had my back turned toward the door. and as soon as i turned and saw it was not a balloon he was holding a weapon. i just booked it downtown lane and i slid basically into where the pins are and climbed up in the machine and was on top of the machine for about 10 minutes

until the cops got there. >> there are so many families that are suffering heart break because of this. and today as the daylight comes and the search continues, they are -- we are waiting to hear more at a 10:30 press conference where get idea what the authorities are planning to do today to bring this to some closure. back to you guys. >> lawrence: mollie, real quickly do we know which place he went to first? did he go to the bar or the bowling alley first? we heard about the response time to the bowling alley but we don't know about the bar. >> my understanding that the bowling alley was first but i feel like i should double-check on that. >> ainsley: bowling alley and then he drove to the bar 10 minutes away. >> they are very close together. >> four miles. >> ainsley: what about family members. i was reading one lady said my

son was playing pool with my ex-husband i guess his dad. next thing i know there was a shooting at the bar. they won't tell us if he is alive or in critical condition or passed away. have they notified family members at this point? >> that story sounds very familiar to similar stories like this where there is a lot of chaos in the aftermath of the shooting or a mass casualty event and people are scrambling to find their loved ones. there there is a reunification center set up in auburn. a lot of people going there. the mayor of that community came forward in the overnight hours and talked about the people that he is meeting there. the people that are desperate to find answers that are coming n shock and looking for their loved ones. interestingly he said he has seen teenagers as well. teenagers and their parents potentially out there bowling in those evening hours were witness witness to this. and also young children. not necessarily physically there they scene of the shootings but

being brought into the center for reunification because they're looking for someone, looking for a loved one whether that's a parent or a sister or brother or family member. but very clear families are being deeply affected by. this that's one of the places they are going seeking answers. >> steve: mollie, thank you very much. at the bowling alley they were hosting a kid's youth league for the bowling league for the kids. at the bar where that guy was playing with his son, they were playing corn hole. so it was a night of fun in lewiston, maine. we are learning more about that person of interest now identified by the local police. >> ainsley: that's right. todd piro here with the latest hot person of interest is. >> todd: here is the profile as we know it. police say robert card 40-year-old from bowdoin, maine. past raising red flags. instructors and member of the army reserve. according to reports, card spent two weeks at a mental health facility just over the summer. police say he recently reported

mental health issues including, quote: hearing voices and threats to shoot up a military base in sacco, maine, he is considered armed and dangerous. >> calder also studied engineering at the university of maine from 2001 to 2004. that according to a school representative. card was last known to be driving a white subaru out back with a black bumper. that was discovered near a boat dock in lisbon, maine. officials expanding the shelter in place order this morning for residents of lisbon and surrounding environments as police continue their search for card. authorities set to give update on the tragedy, 10:30 a.m. eastern time this morning. back to you. >> brian: thanks so much, todd. in fact, in his background, he not only spent 20 years in the military it seemed. it also threatened to shoot up the national guard. so what is going on? i mean he evidently communicated he is out, he is retired waiting

for paperwork to come through. same thing happened there on his exit? >> steve: as todd just said, he threatened to shoot up the national guard unit that he was based out of. i think he was out of sacco, maine, that's why he wound up two weeks in some sort of an institution. but then they released him. now there is so many dots that are going to be connected over the next few hours between what happened when he was released and what happened last night. >> brian: bring in tom homan, fox news contributor and former police officer himself, spent years in law enforcement. tom, where do you start here in a rural place like this, 36-miles north of portland? >> it's going to be tough to find this guy. i'm sitting in my hotel room last night with another career law enforcement officer mark morgan how know. we both served in the trump administration. we are both career law enforcement officers. as soon as the first picture came out who he was. this guy trained. holding the weapon t the way we were trained.

hand placement and shoulder placement. get ready. as soon as we saw the first picture this guy is trained and know what he is doing. makes him more dangerous. well-trained with that weapon than an amateur. we also both believe this is a planned -- it's a planned operation. he didn't do this spur of the moment. he had a plan. he went shot a few place and plan to get away. he is in a residential area. he could have took -- went to residential home, took hostages and no one knows he is there. he could be in the woods. did he have access to another car? here's the problem, he is military-trained, right? they are trained how to evade capture from the enemy. his enemy right now is police officer. is he going to be difficult to find. is he extremely dangerous because he is well-trained and that weapon which can do a lot of damage very quickly. >> lawrence: tom, i was with some of my military about buddies they say the same same thing the way is he crouching and holding the firearm and

moving they methodically through the building you can tell he is trained and military as well. i want you to talk about what law enforcement are having to deal with everyone that carries a gun doesn't have the same amount of training when it comes to dealing with firearms. you are looking at a guy 2-2-3 going through the vest do. they have their level 3 vest on prepared for someone like this or are we expecting swat to be on the ground to handle some of these searches right now? >> >> look, law enforcement has access to a lot of we7s. not everybody has weapons like a swat teams have. we know the location he was in send the swatted team. ultimately trained best at what they're doing. they have the level 3 protective vests with the plates that gives you more protection than average police vest does. i will say this. this isn't a gun issue. i heard people talk about you know, they are already starting to talk and politicize. it's not a gun issue.

it's a mental health issue. this guy isn't stupid e knows what he is doing. it's not a gun issue. it's a stupid issue. no this is a mental health issue. this country has mental health problem. we know that there is no plan to deal with it. 45 cfr. code of federal regulations talks about when a medical professional can communicate with law enforcement the guy may be a danger. the problem is every state has their own laws some states have red flag laws. some yellow flag law. maine is a yellow flag law state. every state handles it differently. no clear precise nationwide plan thousand deal with a mental case that has access to weapons and may be seen dangerous to the public and may be very violent. we have to address the issue nationwide. needs to be one plan to assist aconsistent across the country so a medical professional knows though contact, when to contact. when can you confiscate a gun. all over the place in this country. that's a huge issue.

>> ainsley: he was hearing voices mental health facility two weeks this summer. quash, i wish they had not released him. i know you can't predict. we are reporting on evil happening in the middle east and now happening in maine right here in america. but, tom, are you and we don't know exactly all the details of what happened. are you surprised though that he got away with shooting 22 people that you are in a public place? it's not a school where there are children that aren't armed. this is maine where a lot of people do have guns. have you surprised -- i don't know all the laws with carrying. are you surprised -- and maybe someone did storm him and they were shot and killed. i don't know. are you surprised that he was able to go to two different places and kill as many as he did? >> no. you know, me and mark spent our whole career investigating crime and dealing with, you know, guns and shooters and bottom line is this guy is well-trained. we knew that the minute we saw the picture is he well-trained. he knows how to handle that weapon. someone who knows how to handle a weapon efficient with a weapon

shoot a lot of rounds is going to do a lot of damage. this guy had a plan. back to your first comment. we need to find out who dropped the ball. how did the drop get dropped being in a mental institution threatening to shoot up. walking around with a semi semi-automatic rifle. every state is different. we have a federal law overseeing all of this. every state passes different laws. yellow flag law. be consistency how mental health professionals can notify police officers of a danger. this fail over and over until we address the mental health issue and how they deal with law enforcement. we have got to fix this. >> steve: chris harris who is our stage manager who also is a licensed gun instructor. safety maine amended red flag laws a couple years ago. obviously this guy slipped through the cracks. going to your point though about he had a plan the way he

methodically did this, it's curious that he ditched the car, in nearby lisbon, maine, right next to a boat dock. if you are right at a boat dock, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out there is a possibility he could have had a boat there and floated down the river or went up the river or something else just to lose anybody who might be able to watch him on surveillance cameras. >> but, again, he is a smart guy. boat escape? did he have another car sitting there waiting for him so he got in the car and left. he is not stupid. he had a plan. he could have got in a boat or another car or a home and took over a home and now in someone's home. he could be in the woods. some options. what is difficult is he is a well-trained. again, is he trained how to invade the enemy. if he has got military training. and right now the enemy is the

police so he is going to use all his training, all his tactical experience and god help us, i hope he doesn't take action against police officers if they get him and corner him. i see this not ending well. i hope they catch him. i hope he surrenders. this guy is well trained he may not go lightly. >> brian: have you back as soon as we get more information. dose act like a guy that is a suicidal. doesn't care if he plans to live or die? does he have a grand plan. >> i think his plan is to do as much damage. he is has the right weaponry and training. i think he is looking to do damage and tough man to take in custody. god bless the men and women in law enforcement out there. i hope they stay safe. and i hope the public stays safe. i don't think this guy is done yet. >> ainsley: thank you so much, tom. police are saying he is considered armed and dangerous, obviously. shelter in place.

stay inside, lock your doors, lock your car doors he might be looking for another car. schools and buildings in that area are closed. the lewiston superintendent closed the schools today. all the municipal buildings are closed like city hall. community college and bates college. both of them are closed. >> steve: worst mass shooting in the united states since walmart in el paso in 2019. >> ainsley: last year 2022, 9 mass shootings homicide in the state of maine. 22 they are estimating overnight. so, almost as. >> steve: more in this event than all last year. >> 22 last night, 29 in 2022. >> lawrence: don't try to be a hero. a guy well-trained. will you see something, quality police. shelter in place. protect your family, but don't try to go after this guy. >> ainsley: now to another fox news alert. right now, a large dark cloud of smoke rising over gaza.

>> lawrence: overnight, israeli troops launching what is being called as the largest ground incursion into gaza since the war began. >> brian: trey yingst is live on the ground in southern israel. trey? >> yeah, hey, guys, good morning. a very active southern front overnight and today. i do want to show you the scene behind me. see that dark cloud of smoke rising from the gaza skyline. the israelis have been hammering the northern part of the gaza strip. we watched as large explosions were all along the strip. they were trying to hit a number of tunnels that are beneath gaza. this specific cloud we are still trying to identify what is on fire here in the northern part of gaza. this comes as overnight the israelis conducted their largest ground raid into the strip since the october 7th massacre. you can see in this video here, the israelis using d 9 bulldozers, tanks and infantry troops from the brigade to enter gaza. the israeli military says they destroyed a number of anti-tank guided miflt cells.

they also destroyed a number of hamas and islamic jihad positions along the border all in preparation for expected ground operation. we have also got new satellite images from max r technologies that show the northern part of the gaza strip. you can see the before and the after. the amount of destruction to gaza's infrastructure as the israelis look to prepare for that eventual ground operation. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu talking about those preparations. take a listen. >> i want to be clear. the timing of the ground invasion will unanimously decided by t the war cabinet alg with the chief of staff and war cabinet. when we get into gaza down the e we will collect the highest price from those murderers who committed the horrible atrocities hamas idealists. >> we also got some new information for you the

international legal forum has told fox news they filed a formal complaint with the international criminal court about the october 7th massacre. they say they are calling for the organization to investigate war crimes and genocide. guys, back to you. >> steve: hey, trey, real quick. is this the first time since october 7th that israel has sent tanks into gaza? i know the idf was asked that question and did not respond. >> it's the first time they have sent this many tanks across the border. what we saw last night was a preview of what is to come. a large column entering the imrip engaging targets along the way. not just destroying those cells along the border but also trying to gather more information about the possible location of the hostages. we understand today from the israeli military the number has risen to 224 people being held inside gaza. that number does exclude the four hostages that have already been released. it does come as the northern front remains active as well as operations in the west bank.

>> ainsley: trey, it says that this operation overnight was very brief. so they just -- it was infantry, some tanks, and then they went in and came back out quickly? >> >> yeah. that's exactly right. we haven't gotten any information from the israeli military about possible casualties or damage. the israeli troops may have sustained. you can hear that in the distance likely another israeli strike against the northern part of gaza. they are hammering different areas all leads to one thing. israeli benjamin netanyahu they are waiting for the ideal time to enter the strip. we understand ongoing conversations to try to get as many hostages freed before then. >> brian: prime minister says we'll decide when we're going go in. "wall street journal" reports israel has agreed to delay as we get our missile defense in place. do you think that has got validity? >> so i haven't been able to independently confirm that reporting but i did see the

report last night, and if it is confirmed, it's significant and i think it points to the concern of both the israelis and the americans about the potential of this unraveling to a broader regional conflict. the israelis continue to work on the ground to try and manage the hamas threat inside israel and in the west bank. we know last night they conducted more raids in the west bank against these iranian backed groups. they have arrested more than 660 hamas members since october 7th. but it's not just the west bank, the northern and southern front but yemen, syria, iraq and even iranian territory where they have to make sure they are managing threats from. >> ainsley: hostages, why did it go up to 224? >> each and every day the israeli, the intelligence agencies are gathering intelligence, video, intercepting phone calls and trying to determine if people are alive or dead. they are identifying bodies and trying to figure out who is still alive and being held

inside gaza. >> brian: trey yingst, thank you. we are being targeted over there, too. that's the point in iraq and syria and not doing anything. 2 # minutes after the hour. a lot of live events related to this breaking news. we expect a news conference today at 10:30 eastern time on the maine shooting. we will find out where we are there in terms of victims and the assailant. >> also in new york city, world gathers for emergency sessions at the u.n. general assembly to address the war in israel. that is expected to start at 10:00 in the morning. so stay with fox for live updates. >> steve: you will see it live here. >> lawrence: fox news alert. manhunt underway right now for this person of interest in the mass shooting in maine. >> steve: that man right there. police discovering his suv, subaru outback near a boat dock 8 miles away from the shooting scene. up next, talk to a forensics expert about potential evidence that could be in that car. straight ahead on "fox & friends." ♪ my brain. so i choose new neuriva ultra.

scene at a local bowling alley and bar. >> brian: forensic expert joseph scott morgan joins us now. joseph, where would you begin here? do you go back to the bowling alley while this guy is still out, try to find out the weapons used, the spent rounds? >> they are going to have -- good morning, by the way, thanks for having me. they have to deploy assets at the bowling alley, the restaurant just merely to lock those areas down and secure them. you don't want what we refer to looky lous going into the scene. anybody who shouldn't be there. every bit of evidence that is left behind, whether it's blood evidence which there will be a copious amount of or ammunition, spent ammunition, anything where he disendivanged and dropped a magazine, perhaps, you never know, all of that is going to play into this entire scenario. and then you have got secondary tertiary scenes as well. the car is actually going to

play a big role in this because i have got to tell you guys out of all of these cases i have covered. you don't hear about this very often individual transports from one location to another. >> ainsley: in your experience as forensic expert, you have a lot of experience with this, what do you think happened? where do you think he is? he goes to the bowling alley, drives 0 minutes, goes to the bar. kills # 2 people and then goes to park his car at the boat to ramp or boat dock and the car door is open. you can see. what do you think happened? >> well, i don't know if he is trying to put people off scent. what i understand relative to that river there is not very far can you go if it you are in water vessel. rapids up stream and downstream from where they found the vehicle there is a significant dam on that river, so if you are in some kind of boat. it's going to be hard to get up and down that area. my biggest concern, i think last night, when i first started listening was that he had river

somewhere and crossed over to the other side the little town of durham is over there as well. but i have no knowledge about that. but you have -- you can't dismiss any possibility because this is such a fluid situation. >> steve: sure. and you know he could have this another vehicle across the river in durham if that is true. >> yes. >> steve: ultimately, joseph, how important will -- and we know the guy's name, they are already at his house. they have got his computers. they have got whatever digital stuff he left behind. they are going to be looking at the cloud. they are going to be looking at all the stuff he has googled over the last probably year, two years whatever they can locate and try to put together the pieces based on what he has looked up and investigated. >> yeah, they will. a end 'king dd 214 that i think

they are trying to get him out of the military right now. so they will have a number of records on him there. relative to his training as well. i find it interesting that there is an mp unit in the maine national guard and they are saying firearms instructor. i am wondering if there is connectivity there. one other thick i would like to point out here that i think is significant relevant to movements and behavior, what many people don't think about relative to these shootings is that if he has a circle of incident man's. familial connection. family. sometimes those individuals are at risk of great harm there may individuals that we don't know about yet. i think back to charles whitman, he harmed his family before he took off he worked the day trader shooting all those years ago, he killed his family before he went out and did the damage that he did in atlanta. so you have to think about all

possibilities those individuals if they aren't harmed they will have information about him. movements, whether a his state of mind is suicidal. if is he in psychotic state where is he having visual and auditory hallucinations. >> lawrence: how long is it going to take? dealing with two crime scenes. families and children as well. notifications are going to be difficult because you have folks that were there together. you are trying to locate next of kin as well. how long does it take to do notification massive two crime scene area. >> so chaotic in this environment. you have to be very, very careful about who you notify any individuals deceased no it

physical i.d. you have to confirm that. go through scientific verification. >> ainsley: thank you so much. >> yes, ma'am. thank you. >> ainsley: right now all-out manhunt to find the person of interest in this mass shooting. we will talk fbi special agent how the bureau is working with the state law enforcement to go and catch this individual. type 2 diabetes? discover the ozempic® tri-zone. ♪ ♪

not armoring himself up. >> that's what concerns me, brian. i mean, the minute i sought pictures that you are showing on screen right now i immediately knew this guy was tactically trained. i did not know his history yet. the way he is moving and holding his weapon and moving with a purpose. his finger is off the trigger. i could tell immediately this guy does have tactical training and then obviously later on we find out he is army reservist and maybe potentially a firearms instructor. >> steve: there is a lot. jack, when you came in the studio, you said that you looked at his facebook page. >> yes, i did. >> steve: turns out, one of the targets was a bar. >> yep. >> steve: one of the targets was a bowling alley. >> yep. >> steve: what did you find on his facebook page. >> big into bowling, fishing, hunting, i believe there is a photograph of him holding a large fish. he is definitely an individual that is, you know, of the wilderness. no problem with that.

>> steve: jack, do you think he went to that bowling alley to find somebody because one of the people at the bar was shot at least four times. so it sounds like maybe he was after one of those people. >> i agree. i agree, steve. i honestly do believe that he went to that bar with an absolute purpose. i don't know who he was looking for and that will hopefully come out some time soon what his moat motivations were and what and who he was looking for. he went there with a purpose. as you mentioned, steve, to shoot an individual four times, there is some malice there. there is some hostility toward that one individual. >> ainsley: jack, i heard this morning he has been married twice. he has two ex-wives. if you are one of his children. if you are an ex-wife, what do you do? do you go to the police department? i'm sure they are terrified. >> i immediately would in this case. we have seen unfortunately. individuals go after family

everyone felt a little more secure. i started walking folks to their car in pairs of two. >> lawrence: what is the police presence like on the ground there? >> well, i will tell you this: we had president biden show up about a month or so ago. this is absolutely double the police presence. we are seeing officers coming from far outside androscoggin begin county. i heard reports they were asked to turn around, so as not to overspread their resources. it has been absolutely wonderful job by our boys in the blue to make sure that we figure this out and solve. this this type of issue should never happen here in lewiston, again, it has happened and we are going to do our best to solve it right now. full support. >> brian: your attitude shows you would be a great public service. you care about other people first. >> ainsley: and his grandmother. >> steve: go back in the house. shelter in place. >> encourage you. nobody is anxious, okay, guys? >> ainsley: so sweet.
