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. Following 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.",

The shooter, 40-year-old Robert Card, used a Ruger SR-762#SFAR|Ruger SFAR semi-automatic rifle chambered in .308 Winchester and equipped with an extended Magazine (firearms)|magazine, flashlight and Telescopic sight|optic. At 6:54:20 PM, Card walked into the building and fired a single shot. The rifle jammed and Card tried manipulating the rifle. Two employees, Jason Walker and Michael Deslauriers II, ran up to Card and tried disarming him. However, Card successfully fixed the rifle and loaded a new magazine. He killed Walker and Deslauriers, and fired several more shots at other people in the bowling alley. The entire incident, starting from the moment Card entered the building and fired his first shot, lasted 45 seconds. Police received the first emergency calls at 6:56{{nbsp}}p.m. Eastern Time Zone|EDT. Plainclothes officers at a nearby shooting range also heard the gunshots and responded. The earliest officers to arrive at the scene did so within four minutes of the first call. In total, Card killed eight people and injured three victims.
