The family of the Maine mass shooter, Robert Card, alerted the local sheriff’s office five months before the deadly rampage, expressing concern about his deteriorating mental health and access to firearms. The Sagadohoc County Sheriff’s Office contacted Card’s Army Reserve unit, which assured deputies they would address his mental health issues. Earlier interactions included Card undergoing a mental health evaluation in the summer after an incident during training. Despite warnings and a wellness check, Card carried out a mass shooting on October 25, killing 18 people and injuring 13 before being found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot. Authorities are scrutinizing his mental health history and the failure to prevent the tragedy.
