Maine's authorities are trying to piece together the events that led to the worst mass shooting in the state’s history.
Authorities in Maine spent Monday piecing together the events that led to the worst mass shooting in the state's history — with the gunman's record of interaction with police and warning signs involving mental illness and violent threats emerging as key threads. Those same authorities are facing growing scrutiny over how the shooter was able to keep his guns and remain on the street despite exhibiting signs that he might commit violent acts.
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 AP that a statewide awareness alert was sent in mid-September to be on the lookout for Card after he made threats against his base and fellow soldiers. But ultimately, after a visit to Card's home, police moved on. On Monday afternoon, Gov. Janet Mills, a Democrat, held a news conference to provide an update on the response to the shooting.
