Two local law enforcement chiefs said a statewide alert was sent in mid-September to be on the lookout for the Maine mass shooting suspect. But after authorities couldn't find him, they moved on.

"We added extra patrols, we did that for about two weeks. ... The guy never showed up," said Jack Clements, the police chief in Saco, home to the U.S. Army Reserve base where Card trained. Despite the earlier threats, the FBI said Saturday Card had not been on its radar, telling AP it "did not have nor did it receive any tips or information concerning Robert Card." The bureau added that its instant background check system "was not provided with or in possession of any information that would have prohibited Card from a lawful firearm purchase."
For his part, Saco police Chief Clements defended his department’s response to the alert about Card, which he described as a "generic thing that came out saying, hey, you know, we’ve had some report that this guy’s made some veiled threats." What New York State Police did about Card’s threats is unclear. The agency declined to comment to the AP on the case and did not respond to a request for reports or possible body-camera footage of their interactions with Card.
"If they took him and he didn’t want to go and he refused to be admitted, it’s a slam dunk," Crisp said. "This should have been reported."
