Gov. Janet Mills will launch an independent commission to investigate the events that led to the mass shooting that killed 18 people and injured another 13 in Lewiston, Maine, last Wednesday.
“A cornerstone of the ability to heal is to know the truth – in this case, the facts of what happened on that tragic night, of the months that led up to it, and of the police response to it,” Mills said in a statement. Card’s unit commander said he no longer had any weapons from the reserve, and his superiors were pushing for him to get treatment. The deputy also connected with Card’s brother on Sept. 17, who said he would work to obtain all firearms from Card.
