Study Reveals Traumatic Brain Injury in Maine Mass Shooter
TL;DR Summary
Tissue samples from the brain of the Maine mass shooter, Robert Card, showed evidence of traumatic brain injury but not CTE, according to the Concussion Legacy Foundation. Card, a US Army reservist, had been hospitalized and ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation three months before the shootings. The study found that Card had evidence of traumatic brain injury but no evidence of CTE, and low-level blast exposure during his military service may have played a role in his symptoms. The family expressed deep sorrow for the tragedy and released the brain study findings to raise awareness of traumatic brain injury among military service members.
