Report states unit failed to undertake ‘necessary steps to reduce threat’ that Army reservist posed to public
The independent commission investigating the deadly mass shooting that occurred in Maine last year said on Tuesday in its final report that local authorities and the gunman’s Army reserve unit missed “several opportunities” that “might have changed the course of events”.
The commission created by Janet Mills, Maine’s Democratic governor, was formed shortly after Army reservist Robert Card shot and killed 18 people in Lewiston last October before taking his own life, in what became the state’s deadliest mass shooting.
