we begin our team coverage with nbc news' sam brock. >> we're in the lewiston city hall where just a moments ago we heard from the governor of the state and the maine state police about where things stand right now with the victims and certainly with the investigation and search for robert card who was a person of interest. a big revelation from all of this. he is no longer a person of interest. he is a suspect and now facing eight counts of murder. the reason it's not higher, we found out that it's 18 confirmed deaths so far and 13 people who are injured, only eight of those individuals have actually been identified. so card right now facing eight murder charges. that is expected to rise to 18 once those victims, sadly, are also identified. other bits of information that we learned according to maine state police, and this is certainly the headline right now, our reality is that this man is still at large, which is to say the search continues and they have no idea what state he is in or what path he took, if they have that information. they're certainly not disclosing it and perhaps

. >> it was reported, sam brock reported that there were people in his neighborhood who really tried him some mental health access and weren't able to do so but i know that maine is also a state that does have a number of private firearms in homes. it's a hunting state and alike. does that give you, or should that give people a false sense of security? i'm curious about people who buy guns always for a sense of self protection and alike, how often do you find that things go awry when that is the intended purpose for having a gun in your home? >> we have about 40,000 gun deaths every year. we have 450 million guns, more guns than people, across this country. and if you look at the kinds of gun deaths that are happening in that 40,000, the vast majority of them are from guns in the home that are not safely stored eight kids a day are killed or injured with guns in the home, not safely stored. 65% of our gun deaths are suicide. and that largely is triggered with unsecure easy access to gun in the home. 75% of school shooters get their guns from a home. we don't have the details right no
