Army lieutenant colonel says Lewiston shooter had ‘low threat’ profile upon leaving hospital

Associated Press  

PORTLAND, Maine — A lieutenant colonel with the Army Reserves told an investigatory panel on Monday that a reservist who committed the deadliest mass shooting in Maine history had a low threat profile when he left a psychiatric hospital prior to the killings. One reservist, Sean Hodgson, told superiors Sept. 15: “I believe he’s going to snap and do a mass shooting.” Vazquez told the commission on Monday that Card was considered a “low threat” who should be kept away from weapons because of medication he was on after his hospitalization, and there were not indications that he could do something as drastic as commit a mass shooting. An interim report released by the commission in March found that law enforcement should have seized Card’s guns and put him in protective custody weeks before he committed Maine’s deadliest mass shooting. Monday, members of the Lewiston commission acknowledged during Vazquez’s testimony that Card’s Army superiors faced limitations in the months before the shootings.
