good morning. i'm jarred hill in for anne-marie green. more than 30 hours and counting and still no sign of an alleged gunman who went on a killing rampage at a bar and bowling alley in lewiston. a multistate manhunt for army reservist robert card has expanded to the canadian border with officials searching towns, forests, even waterways. lewiston, the second largest city, turned into a virtual ghost town with businesses and residents shut down and urged to shelter in place. we are learning new details about the 18 people killed. among them a father of three, a bowling coach, and several members of the deaf community. cbs' bradley blackburn is in lewiston. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it is an enormous loss for what is a small town here. and even as this community starts to grieve, they are still frozen in fear. authorities are searching for

the suspect all across the state into massachusetts and up to canada. at least 80 fbi agents along with coast guard members, atf agents, and local police are involved in the search for suspected gunman robert card. authorities say he's been charged in connection to wednesday's deadly shootings at just in time recreation bowling alley and a bar and grill in lewiston, maine. >> he should be considered armed and dangerous. based on our investigation, we believe this is someone who should not be approached. >> reporter: police say the 40-year-old suspect is an army reservist and expert marksman who was recently hospitalized for mental health issues, including hearing voices. >> got a lot of problems up in his head right now. one of them's schizophrenia. >> reporter: a neighbor said nothing seemed unusual when he saw card two weeks ago. >> it's crazy. i have a neighbor that did something really horrible. >> reporter: as investigators search for a motive in the attacks, members of the

community are grappling with the tragic lots of their loved ones. arthur barnard left his oldest son, 42-year-old arthur strout, at the bar and grill moments before the shooting began. he was one of those killed. >> in the end he was by himself. no family. kills you. >> reporter: lewiston and other nearby towns have been asked to shelter in place again today. residents say they hope the suspect is caught soon and brought to justice. and high-ranking law enforcement sources tell cbs news that authorities are looking into the possibility the suspect may have been targeting a specific individual at these two sites, possibly his girlfriend or ex-girlfriend. but it's not clear at this point whether she was, in fact, at the restaurant or at the bowling alley where seven people lost their lives. >> a lot of questions, another tough day. bradley blackburn, thank you. in the wake of that mass shooting, maine democratic congressman jared golden said he's reversing his opposition to

banning assault weapons. >> i have proposed efforts to ban deadly weapons of war like the assault rifle used to carry out this crime. the time has come for me to take responsibility for this failure which is why i now call on the united states congress to ban assault rifles. >> golden, who lives in lewiston where the shooting happened, voted against an attempt to revive a federal assault weapons ban last year. now to the escalating conflict in the middle east, and breaking overnight, u.s. fighter jets launched air strikes today on two locations in eastern syria linked to iran's revolutionary guard. the strikes are in retaliation for the drone and missile attacks on u.s. troops. also new this morning, israel carried out another ground raid for the second straight night as it prepares for its next stage of war. and arab leaders are joining together to plead for a cease-fire to allow for humanitarian aid into gaza. cbs' ian lee joins us from tel aviv with the overnight

developments. ian? >> reporter: good morning. this is an escalation of the violence that we've seen with those air strikes, the attack took place in an area called abu kamal near the iraq border. this was in retaliation for attacks on u.s. personnel in iraq and syria. the pentagon says these are separate to the ongoing war between israel and hamas, but the two are linked. iran's proxies have stepped up attacks in the region and on israel since this conflict with gaza began. there's fears it could escalate even further as the ground invasion looms. overnight israel continued to carry out raids into gaza. troops and tanks supported by fighter jets and drones hit targets on the outskirts of gaza city. the idf spokesman said this is to clear explosives and traps in order to prepare the ground for the invasion. this morning israel said it killed a hamas official partially responsible for

planning that deadly october 7th attack. meanwhile, the situation in gaza grows more desperate. the world food program executive director cindy mccain said people are starving to death while the bureaucracy holds up the desperately needed aid in egypt. just 12 trucks made it in yesterday. the u.n. says its operations are being paralyzed by the lack of fuel. the remaining reserves are being used, but hospitals there warn they could soon start running out and shutting down. >> thank you. minnesota congressman dean phillips says that he's challenging president biden for the democratic presidential nomination. he spoke exclusively with robert costa in an interview for "cbs mornings." are you running for president? >> i am. i have to. i think president biden has done a spectacular job for our country, but it's not about the past. this is an election about the i will not sit still, i will not

be quiet in the face of numbers that are so clearly saying that we're going to be facing an emergency next november. >> phillips will launch his campaign today in new hampshire, and you can see more of that interview later on today, as well on, "cbs mornings." the new speaker of the house, louisiana republican mike johnson, met with president biden yesterday at the white house. until now the staunch conservative was little known outside of his state as well as his party, and as cbs' nikole killion reports, he's remaining tight lipped about his position on some major issues. > reporter: on his second day on the job, speaker mike johnson continued to dodge questions about his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. do you believe the 2020 election was stolen, sir? just yes or no. after the election, johnson in coordination with then-president donald trump recruited more than 100 republicans to sign on to a brief supporting a lawsuit to overturn the results. he also promoted conspiracy theories about rigged voting machine software in an

interview. >> when you have a software system that is used around the country that is suspect because it came from hugo chavez's venezuela. >> reporter: democrats are concerned johnson could again try to block certification of the electoral college results next year if president biden wins again. >> his track record with respect to trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election speaks for itself. >> reporter: johnson's opponents are also singling out his views on abortion rights. >> there is no right to abortion in the constitution, period. >> reporter: before entering office, johnson called abortion a holocaust that has been repeated every day for 32 years, since 1973's roe versus wade. as a congressman he's co-sponsored at least three bills that would ban the procedure nationwide. do you intend to pursue a national abortion ban as speaker, sir? he had nothing to say today about how he will govern going forward. johnson is also staunchly anti-gay rights.

in 2004 he called homosexuality inherently unnatural and voted against legalizing same-sex marriage. moderate republicans argue that despite views they may disagree with, he'll be an efficient speaker. >> he recognizes the need that irrespective of prior positions he's going to have to weave us together toward a common goal. >> reporter: several republican lawmakers told us they don't think speaker johnson will inject his personal views into his new role. for his part, johnson also expressed a willingness to work across the aisle, calling his meeting with president biden productive. nikole killion, cbs news, capitol hill. new york republican congressman george santos is due in federal court today to face almost two dozen new charges. it comes a day after fellow new york republicans called for a vote in the house next week to expel santos from congress. santos is accused of using campaign contributors' credit cards without their consents and -- consent and inflating fundraising numbers to gain support.
