Traffic surged back onto the streets of Lewiston on Friday night after authorities rescinded a shelter-in-place order implemented when an armed suspect killed 18, injured 13 more and vanished without a trace two days earlier.
Suspect Robert Card remained a fugitive when Maine officials lifted the order at a press conference, followed by an emergency text alert to resident cell phones. Locals who’d been cooped up since Wednesday amid the manhunt quickly headed out to complete chores and get provisions while law enforcement doggedly kept up its hunt for Card, a 40-year-old Army reservist considered armed and dangerous.
