Robert Card, an Army reservist who shot and killed 18 people in Maine last year, had significant evidence of traumatic brain injuries

The delicate tissue sheaths that insulate each biological circuit lay in “disorganized clumps,” & throughout #RobertCard’s #brain there was scarring & inflammation suggesting repeated #trauma.
This was not #CTE, the report said. It was a characteristic pattern of damage that has been found before in #military #veterans who were repeatedly exposed to #weapons #blasts during their service.

His brain was sent to a #Veterans Affairs laboratory in Boston that is known for its pioneering work documenting chronic #traumatic #encephalopathy, or #CTE, in athletes.
Acc/to the lab’s report, prepared on Feb 26 & updated on Wednesday, the white matter that forms the wiring deep in the #brain had “moderately severe” damage, & in some areas was missing entirely.

The #gunman, #RobertCard, was a #grenade instructor in the #ArmyReserve. In 2023, after 8 yrs of being exposed to thousands of skull-shaking blasts on the training range, he began hearing #voices & was stalked by #paranoid #delusions. He grew increasingly erratic & #violent in the months before the Oct rampage in #Lewiston, in which he killed 18 people & then himself.

"In addition to his own relatives, law enforcement officials & govt agencies also expressed anxiety about #RobertCard and the possible risk he posed to others, long before police say Card gunned people down in a bowling alley and a bar Wednesday in #Lewiston.
...In September, the local sheriff’s office received a letter saying that a soldier who served with Card in the Army Reserve believed that Card might “snap and commit a #MassShooting ”"

Maine gunman’s family contacted police months before massacre, sheriff says
"Relatives, Army Reserve friends, told authorities Card was deteriorating mentally and had access to firearms. Sheriff deputies couldn’t locate him."

It comes as no surprise to find out that once again law enforcement were notified by family and friends 6 weeks beforehand of #RobertCard 's intentions. They made a feeble wellness check and didn't follow up when he answered and determined he just needed time alone. Maine has a #YellowFlag law that is actually more arduous than #RedFlag laws to meet.

“Maine mass shooter had numerous run-ins with authorities, showed warning signs long before shooting”
“Police across Maine were alerted just last month to the “veiled threats” by the U.S. Army reservist. Two 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 he made threats against his base and fellow soldiers.”

Police were told Maine gunman might 'snap and commit a mass shooting' 6 weeks before massacre
Law enforcement officials in Maine had previously been made aware that the perpetrator of the recent mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine last week that killed 18 and wounded 13 was on the verge of a violent outburst, according to a new report.
CNN reported Monday that in September, the national guard sent a letter to the Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Office warning that 40-year-old Army reservist Robert Card could potentially "snap and commit a mass shooting," according to an unnamed fellow guardsman concerned about Card. County sheriffs tried unsuccessfully to conduct a welfare check at Card's home on September 16, though Card apparently refused to answer the door or talk to the responding officer.

As I read about the man "missed red flags" AP finds in the case of Maine mass shooter Robert Card — multiple reports of concerning incidents over a considerable period of time with, as CNN is reporting "lack of follow-through," I wonder if, had Card been a Black man, say, or a man with immigrant background and not a white GOP-supporting man who was a Sergeant First Class in the Army Reserves, so many warning signs would have been missed.
Robert Card allegedly shot himself to death after being found with "an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound."

#massshooter #crime #robertcard #Maine #guncontrol. “Police across Maine were alerted just last month to “veiled threats” by the U.S. Army reservist who would go on to carry out the worst mass shooting in the state’s history, one of a string of missed red flags that preceded the massacre.”
It was hilarious when I saw someone on the #Fediverse point to the #RobertCard situation in #Maine as a reason why we need universal healthcare.
As if giving people the same level of care that discharged #RobertCard would do anything to help prevent shootings like this from happening 🤦🏾♂️
