Report: Maine Sheriff Had Cause to Take Gunman Into Custody Before Mass Shooting
TL;DR Summary
An interim report from a commission investigating the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, concluded that local law enforcement officers should have taken the gunman, Robert R. Card II, into custody and seized his weapons before he killed 18 people on Oct. 25. The report highlighted missed opportunities to intervene as the gunman displayed increasingly erratic and paranoid behavior, raising questions about the adequacy of law-enforcement communications and follow-up, and of the state’s “yellow flag” law, which allows for the removal of weapons from people deemed to be a risk.
