Maine Sheriff's Statewide Alert on Gunman's Threats Ignored by Police
TL;DR Summary
The sheriff of Sagadahoc County in Maine revealed that he had sent an alert to all law enforcement agencies in the state last month after learning that an Army reservist had made threats against his base, weeks before the reservist carried out a mass shooting that killed 18 people. The sheriff had sent a deputy to the reservist's home but was unable to locate him, prompting the alert. It remains unclear if other departments acted on the alert. The Army's public affairs office did not respond to requests for comment. The shooter, Robert R. Card II, was found dead in a trailer at a recycling plant after a two-day manhunt.
