The investigation indicated the Lewiston gunman had a"hit list," bragged that he could kill 100 people with a rifle scope he'd bought, and told a health care provider that he decided to quit his job"before he ended up killing someone," an Army report saidThree Army Reserve officers were disciplined for dereliction of duty in the aftermath of a rampage in which a reservist killed 18 people in Maine , according to an Army report that cited communication failures within the...
The partially redacted report noted that the gunman, Sgt. 1st Class Robert Card, had previously fallen from a ladder, a potential cause of head injuries uncovered in a post-mortem examination. Daniels said emphatically that there was no tie between his brain injury and his military service, even though the defense department is looking into the potential for damage caused by exposure to repeated blasts.
Both the Army Reserves and the Army's Inspector General were asked to provide a full accounting of events. The Army report, which numbered 115 pages, was based on interviews with 43 witnesses, 445 exhibits and visits to relevant locations, including the sites of the shootings and the location where Card's body was found two days later.
It also recommended a review of the U.S. Army Reserve's behavioral health force structure and comprehensive behavioral health retraining across the entire U.S. Army Reserves, which comprises nearly 190,000 soldiers. Instead, Card was released after 19 days of treatment in a psychiatric hospital and returned home to Maine where he was no longer on active duty and largely outside the scope of Army rules.
