Maine Gunman's Home Visited by Cops Amid Mass Shooting Concerns

The Maine National Guard had asked local police to check on Robert Card, the reservist who killed 18 people in two shooting rampages in Maine, weeks before the massacres, after a fellow guardsman expressed concerns that Card "is going to snap and commit a mass shooting." Officers attempted to contact Card but were unsuccessful. The responding officer learned later that Card had a history of mental health issues and access to firearms. The incident raises questions about the lack of follow-through by authorities despite serious warning signs. Maine has a "yellow flag" law that allows for the assessment and temporary removal of firearms from individuals deemed dangerous.
