The suspect in a mass shooting that killed 18 people in the US state of Maine has been found dead, the state's governor said Friday, ending a two-day manhunt that mobilized hundreds of law enforcement agents and set jittery residents of the northeastern state on edge. Biden said the mass shooting brought "a tragic two days -- not just for Lewiston, Maine, but for our entire country." The killing spree in a bowling alley and bar-restaurant marked the deadliest mass shooting in the US this year. Card's body was found in Lisbon Falls, southeast of Lewiston near the Androscoggin River, authorities said. The shooting -- and Card's fugitive status -- had brought dread to southern Maine over the past two days.
