The image of at least one active killer has been released by police. He is armed with a tactical rifle," Jim Cavanaugh, an NBC News law enforcement contributor and a former special agent in the ATF, said in a text message. "Law Enforcement is now swarming the area attempting to locate, isolate and eliminate the active killer or killers," he said.
October 26, 20232 yr Seeing speculation of him being ex-military based on his movements and tactics. Could be similar to the Dallas shooter from a few years ago.
October 26, 20232 yr Report saying he was hearing voices and was in mental institution for 2 weeks. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12674129/Who-Robert-Card-person-Lewiston-Maine-mass-shooting.html
October 26, 20232 yr What a mess. I listen to this story on my way to work. Are they getting close to finding this guy?
October 26, 20232 yr Quote A bulletin put out by the Maine Information and Analysis Center, a database for law enforcement officials, said Card was a trained firearms instructor and was believed to be in the Army Reserve. It added that law enforcement said Card "recently reported mental health issues to include hearing voices and threats to shoot up the National Guard Base in Saco, ME." Another mentally ill guy with a gun. Good thing we don't have a problem with those combined issues in the USA. Seems like gun training is not enough, this was an instructor. Shame there is no way to fix it. Thoughts and prayers.

Main has laws prohibiting people from firearms if they're a danger to themselves or others. It was reported he said he was hearing voices and was going to shoot up the base

I'm saying the process is broken, if mentally ill doofuses can threaten to shoot up a NG facility, and still remain at large with their weapons. Clearly, the system for removing guns does not exist in any meaningful form.

So like I said, if he went in on his own volition, he wouldn’t be prohibited from possessing them just because he was in an institution. Someone who knows him could have reported him via red flag law and then after having a psyche eval could have determined he wasn’t fit to possess a gun. But that’s a different process.

October 26, 20232 yr Great. Now they'll have to scour the Maine wilderness with flaming-hot jamaican food diarrhea.

Him just checking himself into an institution or saying he wanted to shoot a place up isn’t enough on its own. If he was involuntarily committed, he’d be prohibited without the need for a restraining order.
