"Maine Gunman's Brain Injury Revealed: Implications for Mass Shooting"
A study of the brain tissue of Robert Card, the gunman responsible for the deadliest mass shooting in Maine's history, revealed evidence of traumatic brain injuries, including degeneration in nerve fibers and inflammation. While no direct connection was made between the brain injury and Card's violent actions, researchers suggested that it likely played a role in his behavioral changes. Card's family released the findings in hopes of supporting efforts to prevent similar tragedies. Prior to the shooting, concerns about Card's deteriorating mental health had been raised to police and the army, and a special panel has been established to investigate the incident.
