Robert R. Card, 40, was found dead on Friday evening from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said late Friday night.
The announcement, after a 48-hour search for the suspect in the most lethal act of firearms violence in the state's history, brought a sense of relief to Lewiston and other southern Maine communities plunged into a virtual lockdown during the manhunt.
