Maine police were alerted to threats made by an Army reservist who later carried out a shooting. Despite increased patrols and a visit to the suspect's home, he was not found. The body of the shooter was discovered two days after the incident.
Police across Maine were alerted just last month to “veiled threats” by the U.S. Army reservist who would go on to carry outTwo local law enforcement chiefs told The Associated Press that a statewide awareness alert was sent in mid-September to be on the lookout for Robert Card after the firearms instructor made threats against his base and fellow soldiers. But after stepped-up patrols of the base and a visit to Card’s home – neither of which turned up any sign of him – they moved on.
Maine Gov. Janet Mills shares the news that the body of the man who fatally shot 18 people in two locations in Lewiston on Wednesday was found two days later. U.S. Rep. Jared Golden expressed regret on Thursday for opposing an assault weapons ban. He says he's commitment to pushing for one now. "Never came in contact with this guy, never received any phone calls from the reserve center saying, ‘Hey, we got somebody who was causing a problem,’” he said. “We never got anything.”
“This is an active investigation, and the New York State Police does not comment on active investigations, nor investigations in which we are not the lead agency,” it said in a statement Friday before Card was found dead. A state police spokesman refused to comment Saturday.
