Maine Mass Shooting: Gunman's Warnings and Mental Health Crisis Highlighted

Body cam footage and testimonies reveal ignored warnings about Robert Card's intentions and mental state before the tragic shooting in Maine.

In October 2023, Army reservist Robert Card executed Maine's deadliest mass shooting, leaving 18 dead and 13 wounded.
Body cam footage and testimonies from fellow reservists and family members indicated clear warnings of Card's deteriorating mental state and potential for violence.
Card legally acquired the firearm used in the shooting, raising questions about the effectiveness of existing gun laws and mental health evaluations.
The tragedy has sparked a nationwide debate on mental health and gun laws, with proposals for changes to Maine's 'yellow flag' law and improvements in background checks and mental health treatment.
Investigations by Maine State Police and the Army are ongoing, with testimonies from fellow reservists and an independent commission review aimed at preventing similar future tragedies.
