US Army advised Maine suspect to abstain from gun ownership

The US Army said that the person who shot and killed 18 people in Maine should not have been allowed to have a weapon because he behaved strangely. They had warned about this three months before the shooting happened.

The Army said that Robert Card, who is in the army reserves, was checked in July and they found that he is not able to be sent out for military deployment because they have concerns about his well-being.

Afterward, he stayed in a mental hospital for two weeks before being let go.

Card was discovered deceased on Friday, putting an end to the search for him following the shooting that took place at a bar and bowling alley last Wednesday.

Over twelve people were hurt in the shooting that took place in the city of Lewiston.

In July, the military declared that Card was not suitable to handle a weapon, ammunition, or take part in firing exercises, according to Army spokesperson Lt Col Ruth Castro.

She mentioned that the Army Reserve Command tried many times to get in touch with the reservist.

According to an article on Monday, CNN reported based on sources they did not name, that the army had requested the local police to investigate Card because they were worried he might suddenly become very angry and hurt a lot of people.

Sagadahoc County Sheriff Joel Merry said on Monday evening that in September, a deputy couldn’t find the reservist at his home in Bowdoin on two occasions, which caused an alert throughout the state.

He also mentioned that his office was contacted in May by some family members of Card, who were worried about his mental health and ability to access weapons.

A person working in his office told Card’s Army Reserve training group about something.

There was another incident where Card supposedly hit his friend – another soldier – while they were arguing and threatened his US Army base in Saco, Maine.

The many missed signs on Card have caused a discussion about Maine’s “yellow flag” law, which was approved in 2019.

The law says that authorities have to follow a few steps before they can take guns away from someone who is considered a threat to themselves or others.

This is considered a less strict version of a “red flag” law, which means it has fewer rules for a court to temporarily take away someone’s gun.

Card was not allowed to enter a gun store in a recent situation.

The owner of a store that sells guns in Maine, Rick LaChapelle, said that a person who is 40 years old came to his store on August 5th to pick up a device called a silencer that they bought on the internet.

He had to complete a document that asked: “Have you ever stayed in a mental hospital. ”

Card said yes, according to Mr.

The workers checked the form and told Card that he was not allowed to buy the silencer because of his answers on the questionnaire.

Police said that Card was found dead on Friday night near a river about 10 miles away from Lewiston. It appeared that Card had shot himself.
