PORTLAND, Maine — Law enforcement should have seized a man’s guns and put him in protective custody weeks before he committed Maine’s deadliest mass shooting, a report found Friday. An independent commission has been reviewing the events that led up to Army reservist Robert Card killing 18 people at a bowling alley and a bar in Lewiston on Oct. 25, as well as the subsequent response. The commission criticized Sgt.
It has held seven sessions starting in November, hearing from law enforcement, survivors and victims’ family members and members of the U.S. Army Reserve as it explored whether anything could have been done to prevent the tragedy and what changes should be made going forward. The commission plans to schedule more meetings. Spokesperson Kevin Kelley said a final report was due in the summer. Mills said the panel’s work is of “paramount importance for the people of Maine.
