A gunman in the United States remains at large more than 24 hours after the country's deadliest mass shooting this year.

18 people were gunned down at a bar and a bowling alley in the town of Lewiston, Maine yesterday.

More than a dozen others were injured.

The manhunt continues for 40 year old suspect Robert Card, a firearms instructor and former army reservist.

Police are outside Card's home.

Phil Vine from WorldWatch has been closely following developments from our foreign desk.
