Police in Maine missed two chances to end a search for a gunman who killed 18 people, causing panic in the city. The body of the suspect was found in a trailer at a recycling center, which had been previously searched. Authorities recovered multiple firearms during the investigation.
Police missed two clear opportunities to end a search that locked down and terrified Maine’s second largest city after a gunman killed 18 people at a bowling alley and a bar following a recent spiral into paranoia.
Investigators are still searching for a motive for the massacre, but have increasingly been focused on Card’s mental health history. At a news conference on Saturday, Mr Sauschuck said there was no evidence that Card had ever been involuntarily committed to a mental health facility, which could have made it illegal for him to possess guns. A simple evaluation or voluntary commitment would not have triggered such a prohibition, he said.
Family members of Card told federal investigators he had recently discussed hearing voices and became more focused on the bowling alley and bar, according to law enforcement officials. The deadliest shootings in Maine history stunned a state of 1.3 million people that has relatively little violent crime and had only 29 killings in all of 2022.
