Everyone did their jobs but the Democrats.
Before last week's mass shooting in Maine that left 18 dead and 13
wounded, the U.S. Army says suspect Robert Card's commander was told he
should not have access to an Army-issued weapon, and that it asked the
local sheriff’s office to perform a welfare check.
In a statement to ABC News on Monday, Lt. Col. Ruth Castro, a U.S. Army
spokesperson, said that following his mental health hospitalization and
evaluation in mid-July, Card's commander was told he "should not have a
weapon, handle ammunition, and not participate in live fire activity."
The Army also determined he should not be put in deployable status "due to
concerns over his well-being," according to the statement.
The order only applied to U.S. Army-issued weapons and ammunition and not
to Card's personal weapons cache because they were owned in a civilian
capacity.
The Army also said Monday that the U.S. Army Reserve's surgeon’s office
and the U.S. Army Reserve’s medical management team "made multiple
attempts to contact Card."
In September, out of an abundance of caution and concern for his safety,
Card’s reserve unit requested a health and welfare check that was carried
out by the Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office, she added.
"The Army takes all allegations seriously. Due to an ongoing Army
investigation, we cannot go into any further details," Castro said in a
statement.
The Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office said Monday night, the department
received an email from Card's Army Reserve unit in Saco asking for a
wellness check.
A deputy was sent out to perform the check on Sept. 15 and 16, but Card
wasn’t at home, the Sheriff’s Office said.
A day later, a deputy made contact with Card’s unit commander, who said he
had no more weapons from the reserve, per the Sheriff’s office. The
department said it also reached Card’s family.
“On Sep. 17, 2023, our deputy made contact with Mr. Card’s brother, who
told our office that he would work to secure any firearms that Mr. Card
had access to. Our deputy also asked that the family call back if they
believed that Mr. Card need an evaluation or was a risk to himself or
others," the Sheriff's office said in a statement to ABC News.
Authorities also issued an alert known as a “File 6,” warning law
enforcement agencies across the state that Card was suffering from
psychotic episodes and was “known to be armed and dangerous.”
Last week, a U.S. Defense Department official confirmed to ABC News that
Card was "behaving erratically" while deployed over the summer with his
Army Reserve Unit to Camp Smith Training Center in upstate New York to
support summer training for West Point cadets.
Card’s superior officers informed garrison staff at the training site
about his behavior on July 17, the defense official said.
"Out of concern for his safety, the unit requested that law enforcement be
contacted," the official said.
New York State Police officers responded and transported Card to Keller
Army Community Hospital at the U.S. Military Academy for medical
evaluation, the official said.
Card allegedly threatened other soldiers with violence and was "command
directed" to go to the hospital for the evaluation, according to a source
briefed and with direct knowledge of the incident.
Maine Gov. Janet Mills confirmed Card was found dead last Friday night of
an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
