Key Witness Testifies in Lewiston Shooting Commission

Sean Hodgson, a key figure in the Army Reserves, testified about the missed warnings and mental health issues of gunman Robert Card.

Sean Hodgson, who had previously warned Army leaders about Robert Card's threats, testified in front of a commission investigating the Lewiston shooting.
The commission criticized the Sagadahoc Sheriff’s Office and Army leaders for failing to act on warnings about Card's mental health and access to weapons.
Robert Card, who killed 18 people in Lewiston, Maine, had been diagnosed with unspecified psychosis and was under a 10-year gun possession ban in New York.
Despite warnings, Card retained access to firearms and carried out the shooting six months ago.
The commission's findings and testimonies highlight systemic failures in addressing mental health crises and securing public safety.
