After the man who would become the Maine mass shooter was hospitalized for two weeks due to mental health issues over the summer, the US Army, with which he was a reservist, determined he should not have access to weapons. In a statement to ABC News, an Army spokesperson says Robert Card’s commander was informed that Card „should not have a weapon, handle ammunition, and not participate in live fire activity.“ In its statement, released after news broke that a statewide alert regarding threats from Card went out to Maine police last month, the spokesperson says the Army also determined that due to „concerns over his well-being,“ Card should not be put in deployable status, and in September, his reserve unit requested that the Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office carry out a health and welfare check on Card.
