176 days, 25 officers: Police were repeatedly warned about Robert Card's erratic behavior, his weapons, and his threats. This is an account of those warnings.
A deputy in Maine considered acting under the state's yellow flag law prior to the October mass shootings there, tapes obtained by Scripps News show.
Army Reservist Robert Card displayed a number of concerning behaviors ahead of the mass shooting that prompted warnings from authorities.
“The reviewer concluded that the Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office’s responses to concerns about Mr. Card’s mental health in May and September 2023 was reasonable under the totality of the circumstances,” the report found.
Shortcomings in mental health treatment, weak laws and a reluctance to threaten personal liberties can derail even concerted attempts to thwart mass shootings.
