00:00 I'm profoundly saddened to stand before you today to report that 18 people lost their lives and 13 people injured in last night's attacks.
00:16 In memory of those we lost and in honor of those who were injured, President Biden and I have ordered all US flags and state of Maine flags to be lowered to half staff immediately for the next five days.
00:32 Currently there is an arrest warrant for eight counts of murder for Mr. Card and the reason it's eight counts is because ten people have not yet been identified. As those people are identified the counts will probably go to the total of 18.
00:48 The victims at the Just-In-Time establishment, seven people are deceased there, one female and six males, all from an apparent gunshot wound. Victims at the Schmegly's Billiards, eight are deceased.
01:06 Seven males inside the establishment, one male outside of the establishment. Again, also apparent gunshot wounds. He should be considered armed and dangerous. Based on our investigation we believe this is someone that should not be approached.
01:23 I'm so deeply saddened as is every one of the 1.3 million people of this beautiful state. This city did not deserve this terrible assault on its citizens, on its peace of mind, on its sense of security.
