Maine Commission Investigates Failures Leading to Lewiston Mass Shooting

The independent commission, established by Governor Janet Mills, seeks to understand missed opportunities and systemic failures that allowed the tragedy to occur.

Survivors and family members testify about missed opportunities to prevent the deadliest shooting in Maine's history, which left 18 dead in Lewiston.
Army reservist Robert Card, identified as the gunman, exhibited warning signs of deteriorating mental health before the shootings.
Witnesses question why authorities did not confiscate Card's firearms despite clear warning signs.
The commission is reviewing police response and the effectiveness of Maine's gun laws, with proposals for legislative changes underway.
A final report from the commission is expected, with hopes to prevent such tragedies in the future.
