Law enforcement officers say Maine's yellow flag law that allows guns to be confiscated from someone in a mental health crisis is cumbersome and time consuming.
Two police officers who responded to reports of Robert Card's declining mental health on May 3 and Sept. 15 testified Thursday before the state commission investigating the mass shootings.
A Maine sheriff is defending the actions of his deputies during interactions with an Army reservist who later killed 18 people, saying they were limited in what they could do during a welfare check.
Card died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound after committing the shootings. The mass shooting he committed was the deadliest in Maine history and has motivated new discussions about gun rights and gun control in a state with one of the highest rates of firearm ownership in the Northeast.
