It is unclear if Card, an Army reservist and firearms instructor, was ever at the home.<\/p>\n<p>Eight of the 13 injured victims are still in the hospital, according to medical officials. Five of them are in stable condition while three remain in critical condition as of Thursday evening.<\/p>\n<p>The city of Lewiston, the second largest in the state, remains locked down amid the manhunt. Multiple school districts in the area have closed Friday and few residents are choosing to leave their homes.<\/p>\n<p>The shooting shocked the state, which has one of the lowest gun crime rates in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) described Wednesday as \u201cone of the darkest days\u201d he could remember.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd here\u2019s why it\u2019s so shocking \u2014 I think because Maine has one of the highest rates of gun ownership in the nation. And the figure I saw this morning was we had the second lowest gun crime rate as of the day before yesterday,\u201d King said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s making this so difficult is to grasp the concept of frankly, something we didn\u2019t think was going to be part of something we had to deal with again because of the deep and long history of safe gun use in the state,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>The shootings have  sparked a renewed debate over gun legislation, specifically an assault weapons ban.\u00a0Officials reportedly described the weapon used in the shootings as an assault rifle with an extended magazine and scope.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) announced Thursday that he would now support such a ban, noting that the shooting changed his mind after years of going against it.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Golden called his previous opposition a \u201cmisjudgment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOut of fear of this dangerous world that we live in, in my determination to protect my own daughter and wife in our home and in our community, because of a false confidence that our community was above this and that we could be in full control, among many other misjudgments, I have opposed efforts to ban deadly weapons of war, like the assault rifle used to carry out this crime,\u201d Golden said at a press conference Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe time has now come for me to take responsibility for this failure, which is why I now call on the United States Congress to ban assault rifles, like the one used by the sick perpetrator of this mass killing in my hometown of Lewiston, Maine,\u201d he continued. \u201cFor the good of my community, I will work with any colleague to get this done in the time that I have left in Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cTo the people of Lewiston, my constituents throughout the 2nd District, to those who lost loved ones and to those who have been harmed, I ask for forgiveness and support as I seek to put an end to these terrible shootings,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) was also pressed by multiple reporters at the same press conference on whether she would vote for a ban.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it is more important that we ban very high-capacity magazines. I think that would have more input and more effectiveness,\u201d Collins replied. \u201cCertainly, there\u2019s always more that can be done.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p><em>\u2013Updated at 7:37 a.m.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
