"Maine Mass Shooter: Warning Signs Ignored, Mental Health Issues Ignored, Authorities Criticized"

Authorities in Maine are investigating the worst mass shooting in the state's history, with the gunman's history of interactions with police and warning signs of mental illness and violent threats coming to light. The shooter, Robert Card, had undergone a mental health evaluation last summer and had been committed to a mental health facility for two weeks after making threats to shoot up a military base. Card had also attempted to purchase a suppressor, or silencer, but was denied due to his mental health history. The investigation is focusing on Card's mental health, and there is growing scrutiny over how he was able to keep his guns and remain on the street despite exhibiting warning signs.
