Documents released by a Maine sheriff's office give the most detailed timeline yet of the warning signs and failed efforts to stop the gunman who killed 18 people and wounded 13 others at a bowling alley and bar last week.
High School students return to school for the first time since the shootings that claimed 18 lives in their community, Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2023, in Lewiston, Maine.
New York State Police responded and took Card to a hospital at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point for an evaluation. LaChapelle said to that point, federal authorities had approved the sale of the device, which is used to quiet gunshots. But he said the shop halted the sale after Card filled out a form and answered “yes” to the question: “Have you ever been adjudicated as a mental defective OR have you ever been committed to a mental institution?”
The report included a letter written by an unidentified member of Card's Reserve unit who described the July incidents as well as getting a call the “night before last” from another soldier about Card. The timing isn't clear, but according to the letter, the soldier said he and Card were returning from a casino when Card punched him and said he planned to shoot up places, including an Army Reserve drill center in Saco, Maine.
Card didn't report to weekend Army reserve training activities in September or October, telling his unit that he had work conflicts and was unable to attend, the Army said.On Oct. 18, the sheriff’s office canceled its statewide alert seeking help locating Card.
